Houston Giants // Philadelphia Athletics trade

[Houston Giants (Chad)]

Houston Giants trade:
Nick Lodolo CIN SP (25-26: 0.5m)
Ryan Pepiot TB SP (25-27: 0.5m)
Luis Campusano SD C (25-27: 0.5m)

Philadelphia Athletics trade:
Spencer Schwellenbach ATL SP (25-28: 0.5m)

Houston Giants confirm. Big fan of Pepiot and Lodolo, but willing to pair them together to get an arm I like a little better who comes with an extra year of control - especially as a Braves fan. I felt good enough about my pitching depth to pull the trigger here. Thanks to Rod for the discussion and best of luck!

I confirm. It was very tough to trade Schwellenbach, and I believe that he's likely the best player in this trade, but I'm rolling the dice.

I'm betting that Lodolo can fulfill the high expectations coming out of college, that Pepiot won't get destroyed pitching in an A ball park outdoors in Florida, and that Campusano hits like he was projected to as a prospect. I've been making risky trades, but I want to improve my team for 2026 and 2027.

Thanks to Chad and best of luck to the Giants of Houston.
