Official Oakland Athletics 2012 Season Thread (94-68) AL WEST CHAMPIONS

OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Oakland Athletics acquired infielder Jed Lowrie and right-hander Fernando Rodriguez from the Houston Astros for first baseman Chris Carter and two minor leaguers on Monday.

Right-hander Brad Peacock and catcher Max Stassi also went to Houston in the deal between franchises that will be playing in the same division for the first time following the Astros' move from the NL Central to the AL West in 2013.


Always like Lowrie, good power and potential... sad to see Carter go tho, hope he does well in Houston. Just weren't enough at-bats to go around.

I'm sad to see Carter go, too. I do think that he'll be a good power hitter in the future, 30+ HR potential annually. But this is a win-now move, and it was a good one. Depth is crucial and no one else in baseball can say they have more of it than us.
