Roy Oswalt Leaves Astros For Phillies: Was It A Smart Move?

Well, the news is all over the airwaves in Houston and it is official.

Pitcher Roy Oswalt has officially accepted the trade to the Philadelphia Phillies.

Oswalt waived his no-trade clause in a deal that will bring left handed pitcher J.A. Happ, outfielder Anthony Gose, and shortstop Jonathan Villar to the Astros.

The Phillies added $1,000,000 to his 2012 buyout option that will bring him $24,000,000 between now and then.

The Astros are sending $11,000,000 to the Phillies to help pay his salary and are paying half his guarantee.

Fans in Houston expressed the opinions in a video clip from the Houston Chronicle.
