Roy Oswalt Traded to Phillies


It has just been confirmed that Roy Oswalt, of the former Houston Astros, has been traded to the city of brotherly love to play for the Philadelphia Phillies. The trade consists of Oswalt’s no-trade clause being waived by the Astros and Oswalt going to the Phillies in exchange for J.A. Happ and two prospects, Anthony Gose and Jonathan Villar. Oswalt played 10 seasons for the Houston Astros and is finding the trade bittersweet to say the least. Oswalt, who is 32 years of age, is currently guaranteed $23 Million in wages through 2011.

Online sportsbooks are betting that with Oswalt’s addition to the Phillies already extensive pitching unit, they have a great chance to win the MLB World Series.
