Astros/Mariners

[Mariners GM (Jonathan)]

Astros send: CI: Brett Wallace - '11: $400,000 (PP 1/5)
SP - Mike Foltynewicz - $300,000 (PP 0/5)
MI - Jose Altuve - $300,000 (PP 0/5)

Mariners send: Of: Dexter Fowler 11:$0.406M (PP 2/5)
Of: Greg Halman - 11:0.3M (PP 0/5)
Sp: Taijuan Walker (SEA)


I needed a CI and get that with Wallace. I also like the upside of Foltynewicz and Altuve. I hate losing Fowler, Halman and Walker but feel like this trade helps my team out. Best of luck Astros!

[Astros GM (Rayne)]

Agree

I think fowler will have a huge year and the aquisition of fielder made wallace expendable. I like the upside of Walker a lot and halman has huge power upside. Nice working with seattle again
