The Astros knew as the trade deadline approached that they needed to address the bullpen.
While Astros fans have been dreaming of acquiring the best closer on the market in Craig Kimbrel, James Click started his shopping elsewhere. Instead, he raided the bullpen of division rival Mariners and got Kendall Graveman and Rafael Montero. While Montero may be a question mark, the addition of Graveman should greatly strengthen the Astros bullpen, as we discussed on the Locked On Astros podcast. But Click was not done.
Before first pitch again on Wednesday, Ken Rosenthal tweeted that the Marlins were trading RHP Yimi Garcia to the Astros.
