Gentile Traded From A’s to Astros for Cash and Prospects
Kansas City star Jim Gentile moved to Houston in a five year deal with $100000 cash and two players, one a minor league pitcher. A’s GM Hank Peters said the move opens regular time for 23 year old Ken Harrelson while Gentile, 31, noted Houston’s long interest and aims to help the rebuilding Royals. The A’s received pitcher Jesse Hickman and a yet unnamed prospect, not a pitcher, with the second player to be determined by December when waivers are settled.
