Red Sox receive:
RF,CF George Springer (Astros) $1.0 3rd
Astros receive:
OF Manuel Margot (Red Sox) $0.3 1st

OF Andrew Benintendi (Red Sox) $0.3 1st

RP Heath Hembree (Red Sox) $0.3 1st
www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=11632&position=P
Cap change:
Red Sox: +$0.1 ($32.9 not accounting for other trades)
Astros: -$0.1 ($53.6 not accounting for other trades)
Astros' reason for the trade:
Benintendi is the primary return for Springer, with a very nice ceiling. Margot is also very intriguing in his own right. Hembree is a throw in, speculating on the Red Sox bullpen. Neither Benintendi nor Margot have Springer's power, but there are also less concerns with strikeouts. I believe my team can still compete while moving some assets into storage for later use. Thank you Red Sox for the easy and quick negotiations.
