The teams are now waiting for Oswalt to okay the deal. Happ is a young, price-controlled pitcher that has pitched above his peripherals, and Singleton is an 18-year-old mashing in Single-A. If only the Astros weren't picking up a "very significant" portion of Oswalt's remaining deal, this might be a good haul.If you own Scott Podsednik(notes) in a fantasy league, this is really not a great day. You wanted a quiet trading deadline, but you didn't get it. The Royals dealt your primary source of steals to the Dodgers on Wednesday in exchange for Triple-A catcher Lucas May (.296 AVG, 11 HR) and Single-A starter Elisaul Pimentel (3.49 ERA, 9.66 K/9).
Neither of the farmhands are expected to report to Kansas City, so they don't belong on your short term fantasy radar. Let's focus on the big league implications.
Podsednik is having an excellent year, quietly helping the fantasy community with his 30 stolen bases and .310 average. He'll of course be the same type of player in L.A., but he's only guaranteed two or three weeks of consistent playing time in left field.
