Correction: Hanson not in deal. Pirates get LHP Wandy Rodriguez & cash from #Astros for Rudy Owens, Colton Cain and Robbie Grossman.

solid move by the Pirates. I really hope they make the playoffs because it'd be a great story.

Yea good move. They should another bat though.

Real good deal for the Pirates. Agree with snipe though, they should try to get a bat now.

I like this for the Pirates, its a good gamble because Wandy is a solid #3 type pitcher. Grossman is a decent prospect who has a good eye at the plate, but needs to make strides in terms of hitting for average. Owens is projected to be a 5th starter and pretty much the same for Cain so nothing huge lost here by the Pirates.
