The Oakland Athletics traded pitcher Scott Kazmir to the Houston Astros shortly before the left-hander was to make his scheduled start Thursday.

Kazmir, 31, was scheduled to pitch this afternoon against the Blue Jays in Oakland. He will be a free agent after this season.

Kazmir is 5-5 with a 2.38 ERA with 101 strikeouts this season.



Heading to the A's in return are a pair of minor leaguers in right-hander Daniel Mengden and catcher Jacob Nottingham.
Houston is two games behind the red-hot Angels in the AL West after leading the division most of this season.

Good pick-up by the Stros

Kazmir is good for 6 innings a game tops and this year has left games early for mysterious injuries. Dont know who the prospects are but no way would the A's have signed him next year. I guess this wont be the first move oakland makes.

It was the 13th time this season Kazmir has allowed one run or less
