The Astros have acquired Gerrit Cole from the Pirates in exchange for Colin Moran, Joe Musgrove, Michael Feliz and Jason Martin. (Ken Rosenthal on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Cole is coming off a down season, during which he pitched to a 4.26 ERA. Though he should bounce back, he'll obviously be pitching in a tougher league with the Astros, though he won't need to take on the ace role at this point. In the end, his value changes only minimally with the move, as there are plenty of positives (playing on a better team) and negatives (pitching in the American League).
