Astros ace Roy Oswalt(notes) said he has not demanded a trade, but questioned the direction of his team and thinks a deal might be the best thing for everyone. The 32-year-old Oswalt (2-6, 2.66 ERA) said Saturday that it’s time for him to move on and that he thinks he has a two-year window to contribute to a World Series championship. Oswalt said he communicated to owner Drayton McLane through his agent that dealing him might benefit both parties. “I’ve been here 10 years and given everything I’ve got for 10 years, done everything I need to do to stay on the field,” he said. “Hopefully, there may be some options for both of us out there. I’m not looking for an ‘out’ for me, from the standpoint as a franchise player for 10 years. But I think it would be a good thing for both of us.” http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=ArDPrUvbAVvlAr.1_G7_tLgRvLYF?slug=ap-astros-oswalttraderequest
