Athletics acquired SS Jed Lowrie and RHP Fernando Rodriguez from the Astros in exchange for 1B Chris Carter, RHP Brad Peacock and C Max Stassi.
The most interesting part of this deal IMO is Carter to the 'stros. Always had HUGE power potential, and now he slides into an everyday DH role. He jacked 16 HR's in just 260 AB's for Oakland last year. With half of his games in Houston, 30 HR's is a possibility.

You missed the interesting part of the story - the Astros moving to the AL and needing a DH.

I read that about Altuve today too. I would assume they leave him at 2B and rotate Pena, Wallace, and Carter between 1B, DH and maybe OF.
