Oswalt Deal Done, Awaiting His Approval

Multiple sources out of Houston and Philly are reporting the Phillies and Astros have agreed on a deal for Roy Oswalt. The only thing left is for Oswalt to approve it.

The trade appears to be Roy Oswalt to the Phils for Jay Happ and 1st base prospect Jonathon Singleton.

I have heard a few sources say Phils pitching prospect Vance Worley will be included in the deal but there are to many disputing sources on that to be sure.

I imagine the only reason the deal is awaiting Oswalt's approval is the negotiation over that final year 2012 club option. Oswalt has already said himself he was willing to negotiate.
Another fun fact, the "Oswalt not wanting to come to Philly" was mostly a smoke screen to get better leverage for both Oswalt and Houston to drum up more interest.

One small part of the "Oswalt not wanting to come to Philly" was true. Intially when these talks started he was getting bad info on Philly.

From who you ask??

That would be knuckle-head, wife beating douche-bag Bret Myers...

Myers apparently was in Oswalt's ear about Philly mostly ripping pitching coach Rich Dubee. Nice job Bret. How about you go get black eye in a bar fight and then lie about it, blaming your 3-year old son for hitting you with a ball.

Wait... You already did that.
