SPORTSPirates RHP Gerrit Cole traded to Astros in 5-player deal Email
He played in nine games for the Astros in 2016-and seven more last season-before suffering a freak injury when he fouled a ball off of his own face. The one-time All-Star was 12-12 with a 4.26 ERA last season. Look for his ADP to tick up accordingly.
With the addition of Cole and the removals of Feliz, Moran and Musgrove, the Astros 40-man roster now stands at 38 players.
Gerrit Cole is heading to Houston after all.
In 79 games last season at Triple-A Fresno, Moran hit.308 with a.916 OPS.
After a false start, now the deal is official and Cole has been traded to Pittsburgh for four players.

Liverpool's Salah fit to face Manchester City
This has the makings of a mouth-watering clash, as arguably the two most in-form teams are pitted against each other at Anfield . Mohamed Salah sat out the past two matches against Burnley and Everton with a groin injury , but is fit to play this weekend.
Outfielder Andrew McCutchen is scheduled to become a free agent after next season.
After going 75-87 in 2017, Pirates general manager Neal Huntington made the call to deal Cole in an effort to bring in a strong package of talent for his team as it looks to avoid a significant drop-off when all those deals expire.
Cole is coming off of a career-worst ERA at 4.26 in 203 innings pitched, but he remains one of the hardest throwers in the game.
Even with those lackluster stats last season, Cole is the kind of pitcher the Astros can afford to take a chance on.
This is a huge trade for the reigning World Series champion Astros who land another frontline starter to the rotation that already includes Justin Verlander, Dallas Keuchel and Lance McCullers. With the Astros, Cole has a potent lineup with Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa leading the way and he can safely slot into the No. 3 spot in the rotation.
