They traded infielder Ty Wigginton for setup man Dan Wheeler (1.93/.938 ERA/WHIP), spare outfielder Joey Gathright and minor-league infielder Fernando Cortez to Kansas City for J.P. Howell, currently leading the AL relievers in IPs and Ks. They signed lefty specialist Trever Miller (making $1.6M and giving 3.92/1.36 back) and righty Gary Glover ($1.075M, 3.34/1.52). More smart trading and signing.
