Houston Astros acquire Trey Mancini from Baltimore Orioles, catcher Christian Vazquez from Boston Red Sox, sources say

The Houston Astros acquired first baseman/outfielder Trey Mancini from the Baltimore Orioles as well as catcher Christian Vazquez from the Boston Red Sox, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan.

The Mancini deal, announced Monday by the Astros, is a three-team trade that also involved the Tampa Bay Rays. Besides Mancini, the Astros received minor league right-hander Jayden Murray from the Rays, who are acquiring outfielder Jose Siri from Houston. The Orioles received minor league right-handers Seth Johnson (from the Rays) and Chayce McDermott (from Houston).

To make room for Siri on their 40-man roster, the Rays designated outfielder Brett Phillips for assignment.
