Pirates got

Houston Astros traded LHP Wandy Rodriguez to Pittsburgh Pirates for LHP Colton Cain, CF Robbie Grossman and LHP Rudy Owens.

Trades made between 2012-07-17 and 2012-08-03 — the two weeks leading into the 2012deadline, plus the days right after for late-posted completions. The deadline itself moves: it sat at a fixed July 31, 4 p.m. ET for decades, and the 2022 CBA both pushed the cutoff to 6 p.m. ET and let the league float the date anywhere from July 28 to Aug. 3. Sourced from MLB’s official transaction log, which carries trade records back to 2009; where MLB logged only one side of a deal, that’s noted on the card.
