Update: The White Sox have sent pitchers Matt Heidenreich, Blair Walters and a player to be named later to the Astros for Brett Myers, according to a tweet sent by the Astros official Twitter page.
The White Sox have acquired closer Brett Myers from the Astros, according to FoxSports.com’s Ken Rosenthal.
Myers, 31, is in the final year of his two-year contract. He’s making $11 million this season and has a $10 million team option for 2013. He can be bought out for $3 million.
Myers could take over the closer role for the White Sox from rookie Addison Reed, who has been solid but has a 4.24 ERA.
Myers had 19 saves for the Astros this season.
