Roy Oswalt, formerly of the Houston Astros, is now a Philly after waiving his no-trade clause.
The red-hot Phillies acquired the ace today in exchange for left-handed starter J.A. Happ and two prospects, outfielder Anthony Gose and shortstop Jonathan Villar.
Oswalt has been the talk of trade rumors for some time now, but his move to the Phillies is somewhat surprising, given his prior desire to be traded to St. Louis.
With the Phillies already breathing down the necks of the Braves, this makes the National League East race very interesting.
