Houston Astros GM Ed Wade had this to say,"We were very excited when we got the phone call from the Yankees organization. We are giving up our best pitcher for a great prospect and starter A.J. Burnett. I hope the fans understand that we are a rebuilding team right now and we could really use more talent in our farm systems."

New York Yankees GM Brian Cashman had this to say,"A.J. Burnett has not showed us any signs of consistency. I know it's been only two starts but this topic has been discussed during the off season as well. A.J. was great for us last season helping us bring home the WS title. And we thank him dearly for that, as for Jesus. He is indeed a great prospect, but as his title states that's all that he is to us right now. We believe that Roy Oswalt will fit our rotation perfectly and should do tremendous for us this season."

Roy Oswalt had this to say," I was told that the team was looking to put me in a trade to bring back some young talent. I have no problem with going to New York as they win a lot of championships there and I would love to be apart of the great history."

A.J. Burnett had this to say," I had not heard anything of me being put into any type of trade. After my last start I was told by Joe Girardi that I could be leaving soon. That was my first time of ever hearing anything about this situation. I guess I have fulfilled my job with the Yankees and it's time for me to go. I'm looking forward to going to Houston, they are a rebuilding team and are looking to be very strong in the future. Hopefully I can stay with them long enough to be apart of this process."
