The San Francisco Giants traded right-handed pitcher Kai-Wei Teng to the Houston Astros in exchange for catching prospect Jancel Villarroel and international slot money, following the signing of center fielder Harrison Bader. Villarroel, a 21-year-old prospect, had a solid year in Low-A, showcasing decent power and bat-to-ball skills. Teng, who struggled with consistency during his tenure with the Giants, demonstrated potential with strong AAA performance but faced challenges in the majors. He now heads to the Astros, aiming to solidify his role in the MLB.
