The Astros make a three-team deal, receiving Trey Mancini from the Orioles:

The Houston Astros acquired first baseman Trey Mancini from the Baltimore Orioles in a three-team trade Monday that also moved speedy outfielder Jose Siri to the Tampa Bay Rays.

Houston also received minor league right-hander Jayden Murray from Tampa Bay. The Astros sent Siri to the Rays and minor league right-hander Chayce McDermott to the Orioles.

Almost all of Siri’s value comes from defense this season, and he should be a decent replacement for Kevin Kiermaier.

Murray owns a low ERA in the minors with good three-true outcomes, while McDermott blows away batters. With both Mancini and Murray, the Astros might have gotten the best of this transaction.
