LAA/HOU trade

[Los Angeles Angels]

LAA acquires

OF Adam Engel $5m/21, UFA/22
SP Nick Swiney $0.2/prospect

HOU acquires

SP Danny Duffy $10.405/21, UFA/22 LAA covers 25% of 2021 salary

LAA needed to improve OF depth and Engel had shown some signs of a breakout last year. We are also excited to receive Swiney as we were at to pick him last year only to have him poached right before our selection.

We'll miss Duffy especially with his great start and success coming back from injury but that risk and the fact we have several SP coming back soon made him somewhat expendable.

[Houston Astros]

Astros Accept: I was looking for another SP Duffy has been good this season when healthy. He is now healthy and should help
my starting pitching. Engle has done well in limited play but I can cover his hitting position. Swiney has a
chance to be a good SP in the future. Thanks for the trade Angels. The Angels are also covering 25% of Duffy's salary.
