<p>HOUSTON &#8212; The World Series champion Houston Astros have boosted their rotation with another big arm, acquiring Gerrit Cole from the Pittsburgh Pirates in a five-player trade.</p><p>The deal was announced Saturday. The Pirates got right-handers Joe Musgrove and Michael Feliz, third baseman Colin Moran and outfielder Jason Martin for their ace.</p><p>Cole will join former Cy Young Award winners Dallas Keuchel and Justin Verlander on a team that just won its first championship.</p><p>Cole went 12-12 with a 4.26 ERA last season. The 27-year-old righty was the overall No. 1 pick in the 2011 draft and a 2015 All-Star with the Pirates.</p><p>The New York Yankees had been among the teams mentioned in recent trade speculation involving Cole. There hadn&#8217;t been a lot of movement this winter on baseball&#8217;s hot stove, but this deal could get things cooking.</p><style>
