    Because that's what the Astros are calling it, "a major announcement", according to 790.

    I think he's asking why they're calling it a major announcement.

    According to 610, it is NOT the Bagwell deal. Stay tuned and I hope we aren't cursing later on. :)

    Houston deals for Colorado's Jennings
    Ken Rosenthal / FOXSports.com
    Posted: 2 minutes ago



    The Astros have acquired right-hander Jason Jennings from the Rockies, FOXSports.com has learned.

    The Rockies will receive center fielder Willy Taveras and right-handers Jason Hirsh and Taylor Buchholz for Jennings and right-hander Miguel Asencio, major-league sources said.
    Jennings, 28, will replace left-hander Andy Pettitte in the Astros' rotation. Pettitte, 34, signed a two-year, $32 million free-agent contract with the Yankees last Friday.

    The Astros, who still could re-sign free-agent right-hander Roger Clemens, paid a steep price for Jennings, a pitcher with a 4.74 career ERA and only one season of more than 12 wins.
