"The Giants and Astros are closing in on a trade that'll send starter Kai-Wei Teng to the Astros for minor league catcher Jancel Villarroel, reports Chandler Rome of The Athletic."
"San Francisco needed to create a 40-man roster spot in order to finalize their two-year deal with Harrison Bader. It appears a Teng trade will be that corresponding move."
"More to come."
The San Francisco Giants and Houston Astros are finalizing a trade that will send starter Kai-Wei Teng to Houston in exchange for minor-league catcher Jancel Villarroel. San Francisco required an open spot on its 40-man roster to complete a two-year contract with outfielder Harrison Bader. Moving Teng off the 40-man roster will create that necessary roster space and allow the Giants to officially add Bader. The transaction shifts pitching depth to the Astros while adding a catching prospect to the Giants' minor-league system. Further confirmation and details of the trade are expected.
