The Houston Astros acquired right handed reliever Kendall Graveman from the Seattle Mariners along with Rafael Montero Tuesday in exchange for Abraham Toro and Joe Smith.
Toro definitely has had his moments and Smith is the consummate professional, albeit one that hasn’t performed particularly well this season, as Smith himself has admitted, but this is a deal you make every single time.
