    It says it's PART of the deal and a .778 OPS is pretty damn good

    Jon Morosi @jonmorosi
    Infielder Alen Hanson included in #Pirates - #Astros trade, source tells FOXSports.com.

    Jon Morosi @jonmorosi
    So far, it’s Wandy Rodriguez for OF Robbie Grossman and SS/2B Alen Hanson. Working to see if other names are involved.

    Jon Morosi @jonmorosi
    Hold on. Contradicting information on Hanson's inclusion.

    Grossman walked 104 times and scored 127 runs last season. 100 walks and 100 runs had not been done since Nick Swisher in 2004.

    Lunhow doing work. Hanson and Grossman is an amazing haul for Wandy, and it appears that Lunhow is to middle infielders as Morey is to PFs.

    Pittsburgh Pirates @Pirates
    The @Pirates have acquired LHP Wandy Rodriguez & cash from the #Astros for Rudy Owens, Colton Cain & Robbie Grossman.

    No Hanson.
