Rafael Montero moved to Atlanta.
The right -hand reliever and cash considerations were sent to the braves for the stars in exchange for a player to be appointed later, eliminating a fan of Houston’s payroll.
Before the exchange, Montero had launched four tickets with an effectiveness of 4.50 and five strikeouts in 2025.
Montero, 34, is in the last year of a three -year contract and $ 34.5 million he signed with Houston during the 2022 low season.
The Hurler, who has been with Houston for five years, has put an effectiveness of 4.92 in 109 tickets since the agreement was signed.
He was designated for the allocation in August last season and chose to accept his assignment to Triple-A Sugar Land.
Montero was a valuable piece of the winning team of the 2022 World Series of the Astros and has an effectiveness of 2.51 with 18 strikeouts and an average opponent batting a.143 in 15 appearances in the postseason last their time in Houston.
However, never, things had clearly turned to the other side to the point that the stars had the leg that sought to get rid of it going through this low season, but they could not find any buyer for the reliever, Atlético reported.
Bennett Sousa, a left-handed pitcher, was retired from Triple-A to take the place of Montero on the active list.
The Braves will be the fifth Montero team in their career in the big leagues after starting things with the Mets.
Montero was signed by the Amazin’s as an international free agent in 2011 and made his debut in the Major Leagues on May 14, 2014, against the Yankees.
It passed parts of four seasons with the Mets, where it had an effectiveness of 5.38 and 189 strikeouts.
