The Houston Astros acquired SP Kai-Wei Teng from the San Francisco Giants in exchange for minor league catcher Jancel Villaroel, as GM Dana Brown seeks pitching depth. Teng, known for his strikeout ability but inconsistent command, will add versatility to the bullpen or rotation. To make room, the Astros designated SP J.P. France for assignment after a difficult season post-surgery. Additionally, the Astros signed left-hander RP Tom Cosgrove, enhancing their pitching options while preparing for a demanding early schedule.
