Looks like Wandy Rodriguez is almost a Pirate.

Good. I hope he pitches against us every remaining series they play us. The Reds have roughed him up atleast twice this season.

Sure, we may do well against him lately, but you know he is going to face the rest of the league 10 times this year and has done very well against them....
Hoping the Pirates gave up one of their prized pitching prospects to get him.

Good for the Pirates, but I don't see this as a game-changer by any means.
Just hugged teammates in the dugout and headed to the tunnel. I'd say it's official.
Players involved are not official but this may be one

Also this triggers an option for next yearIs any player involved? Alen Hanson of Low A West Virginia was pulled in 1st inning
yes, wandy deal is thru 2014. trade triggers $13M player option for '14. still $30M to go. "stros send $ to #bucs
From Jon Morosi:
So far, it’s Wandy Rodriguez for OF Robbie Grossman and SS/2B Alen Hanson. Working to see if other names are involved.
Also from Morosi:
Correction: Hanson not in deal. Pirates get LHP Wandy Rodriguez & cash from #Astros for Rudy Owens, Colton Cain and Robbie Grossman.
Let's see what the Reds do. Who does Wandy replace in that vulnerable rotation?
