Astros accept.
We needed less of Stanton's contract, and are pleased to get King Felix, an extremely valuable backup catcher, and a top 30 prospect who can stay at one of the most challenging positions on the diamond.

Rangers accept.
We definitely need an upgrade at OF, and definitely there are a lot worse than adding Stanton to the rank. He will be the main man at Texas. Nick Gordon is deemed a surplus with JP Crawford also on the book, in Olson we will definitely get a quality 1B to take over from Fielder. Texas will lose his King but who cares, we still have a Prince.
