Mancini is hitting .268 with 10 home runs and 41 RBI this season. He was the AL comeback player of the year in 2021 after recovering from stage 3 colon cancer.
Mancini will be a free agent after the season, because he will likely opt out, so the Astros didn't have to give up too much to acquire him. The full trade package is below courtesy of Chandler Rome.
Full trade, per source: Houston gets Trey Mancini and Jayden Murray, Tampa gets Jose Siri, Baltimore gets Chayce McDermott and Seth Johnson

Houston Astros All-Star closer Josh Hader will be shut down from throwing for approximately three weeks after the team announced Friday he has been diagnosed with left shoulder capsule strain.
Hader was placed on the injured list on Monday for the first time in his nine-year Major League career because of a shoulder strain. Astros manager Joe Espada said Wednesday that Hader would seek a second opinion before determining a next course of action.
A six-time All-Star, Hader, who is in his second year with the Astros, is 6-2 with a 2.05 ERA and is tied for third with 28 saves in 48 appearances this season.
The Astros entered play on Friday leading the American League West by 1½ games, despite having 13 players on the injured list.
