File this one under absolutely shocking, for me. The Astros traded Jed Lowrie for the second time, and to the Athletics for the second time. This occurs around two-and-one-half weeks short of the one year anniversary of Lowrie signing with Houston on a sweetheart free-agent deal that was meant to last three or four years, and a week or so after the Astros traded another utility-player / middle infielder away for what I thought was an underwhelming return.
(As an aside, this is the third "Jed's Back" article on Astros County. The first is linked to above.
