It appears as though right handed pitcher Roy Oswalt may be heading to the National League Champion Philadelphia Phillies. The trade could be complete as early as this afternoon. Reports out of Houston indicate that the Phillies and Houston Astros have reached a trade agreement. The agreement includes which players the Phillies will send to Houston, and how much money the they will have to pay Roy Oswalt for the remainder of this season and next.

There is currently no word of what players Philadelphia will be trading away to get Oswalt. However it is believed to be a package of minor leaguers and possibly a player on Philly’s major league roster. There is a lot of speculation that the main player Houston will get in return is JA Happ, who has been on the disabled list most of the season.

Roy Oswalt has bounced back quite well this season. Even though his win/loss record doesn’t indicate much. He is currently 6-12 with a 3.42 ERA in 129 innings, and has struck out 120. The trade gives the Phillies possibly the best starting rotation in baseball, with Halladay, Oswalt, Hamels, Blanton, and Kendrick.
