Blue Jays and Astros finalize ten-player trade on this date in history

On July 20, the Toronto Blue Jays and Houston Astros made a ten-player trade in 2012. The Blue Jays acquired J.A. Happ, Brandon Lyon, and David Carpenter, while the Astros received Francisco Cordero, Ben Francisco, Joe Musgrove, Carlos Perez, David Rollins, Asher Wojciechowski, and Kevin Comer. Happ later became an effective pitcher for the Blue Jays and returned in free agency after stints with other teams. The trade is often viewed favorably for Toronto, largely due to Happ's development into a strong starter and Musgrove's subsequent success elsewhere.
