VETERAN P FELDMAN HEADS TO THE BLUE JAYS
The Toronto Blue Jays acquired pitcher Scott Feldman from the Houston Astros for pitcher Guadalupe Chavez.
What does it give the Toronto Blue Jays
The Blue Jays add a solid, versatile veteran right-hander here in Feldman, someone who will probably be used in a long-relief role to start out (but who can also be a candidate to start, if required). This is a short-term move.
What does it give the Houston Astros
In Chavez, the Astros land an 18-year-old right-hander with big long-range upside (in exchange for a veteran pitcher who had been pitching out of the bullpen for Houston). This was a great deal for 'Stros management.
Fantasy impact
If Feldman had any fantasy value, it won't change in Toronto. Neither the Astros nor the Blue Jays play in pitcher-friendly parks, so his value is negligible. As for Chavez, he should now be on the fantasy radar in keeper leagues but is several years away from fantasy prominence.
