Two of the former Houston Astros relievers are now reunited after a recent trade.
While Dana Brown and his front office are figuring out what types of packages to offer so they can land their desired targets, they have also seen their division rivalRandy Arozarena will give that lineup a potent bat, something they desperately needed. They also went out and acquired reliever Yimi Garcia, as well, bringing in a solid option they can turn to out of the bullpen.
Both pitchers were huge parts of Houston's bullpen during their tenures with the franchise, and even though Maton wasn't active for their playoff run when they won the 2022 World Series after breaking his hand following punching a locker, he pitched high-leverage innings for the team throughout the year.
Thankfully for the Astros, they won't have to see Stanek coming out of the bullpen to face them anymore. The battle between themselves and Seattle is going to heat up coming down the stretch as Houston goes for their fourth consecutive AL West title and the Mariners are trying to win their first since 2001.Brad Wakai graduated from Penn State University with a degree in Journalism.
