Astros Convinced Roberto Osuna Is 'Remorseful' for Domestic Violence Incident

On Monday, the Astros made a big move by dealing for Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna.

In four seasons, Osuna has racked up 104 career saves, and in 2017 he earned a spot on the All-Star team. The right-hander appeared in 15 games for Toronto this season, having sat out much of the 2018 campaign due to a suspension in relation to a domestic violence incident. Osuna's suspension was for 75 games and he will be eligible to return to the field Aug. 5.

After making the deal for Osuna, Houston general manager Jeff Luhnow released a statement explaining the vetting process the team went through before making the trade, and how the organization feels its new righty has learned from the situation.
