Navarro on the way to Minute Maid Park

Ed Wade wasn't joking around this afternoon. When the Astros' general manager was on Matt Thomas' show on Sports Talk 790 Wednesday afternoon, he indicated that moves may be made soon, and that the club had their eyes on Ozzie Navarro who has been playing well at Round Rock. In a post-game tweet this evening, Alyson Footer indicates that the Astros have purchased Navarro's contract and that they are in the process of releasing Kaz Matsui.

Navarro was batting .312 with three home runs and 19 RBI in 77 at bats for Round Rock. He has a .667 career major league average. (He was two for three in a four game stint with Seattle in 2006.)
