This was also announced earlier today, via Rotoworld:
Astros acquired C Matt Pagnozzi from the Braves in exchange for cash considerations.
Jason Castro's strained knee forced Houston's hand. Already playing without concussed backup catchers Carlos Corporan and Max Stassi, the Astros' only other healthy catcher is 31-year-old rookie Cody Clark. Pagnozzi is en route to Houston and will be active for Tuesday's game.

Fredi's just trolling us at this point. He's up 15 games, has the division just about locked up and he's thinking, "Let's screw around with the jerks over at ChopCountry. Get me Shanks in here, I'm going to give some anonymous quotes trashing Heyward's approach to recovering from his broken jaw."

Jordan goes 4-5 with 3 SB and gets benched the next game.

Umm, you know he hurt his back, right?
He's day to day, just giving him some rest.

It's OVER 5,000!
I am happy for Matt, hopefully he does well with the Astros and stays in the Majors.

I'm guessing you just read the box score and didn't watch the game or read any recaps.

Good guess. I am finished paying for Braves games.

So how much money do you get for a minor league catcher from a team 40 games under .500? Can't be much.

There are other ways to watch them.

Very little for a Major league team, but Matt would've been a minor league free agent again anyway. Plus Matt has already played in the Majors and did well as a back-up. So he was a good choice for Houston given their injuries. Further, Matt came here expecting a Major league job. If you recall a lot of media talk early pretty much called him a lock to make our team. But Gattis changed all that so in the end it didn't happen. Good job by the Braves doing right by him. We just didn't have room for him here.

I have only found choppy and pretty much awful streams online. Littered with ads makes it even more frustrating. I can wait until the playoffs or a national game if we have any left.

Anonymous source was quoted as saying that if you can't eat through a straw AND still hit major league pitching from a painkiller haze, you probably don't love baseball.

wouldn't be surprised if there are no more national games; they like pennat races and we really aren't in one.

Yeah that's true. Maybe I could catch a game on MLBN sometime.
