Kendall Graveman Stats

The Seattle Mariners have traded pitchers Kendall Graveman and Rafael Montero to the Houston Astros in exchange for infielder Abraham Toro and right-hander Joe Smith. The Astros upgrade their bullpen by acquiring Seattle's top reliever in Graveman. He has been fantastic this season, posting a 0.82 ERA, 0.70 WHIP and 34:8 K:BB across 33 innings in 2021. Graveman will lose some fantasy value, as he's expected to serve as the top setup man for Astros closer to Ryan Pressly. Montero was designated for assignment. Toro is under team control for four more seasons and will have a chance to become the Mariners starting third baseman of the future. The 24-year-old has slashed .211/.287/.385 across 122 plate appearances in 2021. With the Mariners moving on from Graveman, Paul Sewald will likely step into the closer's role and is the reliever to roster in Seattle's bullpen. Sewald owns a 2.30 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and a 54:12 K:BB across 31 1/3 innings in his resurgent 2021 season.

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Kendall Graveman recorded his ninth save of the season Tuesday, allowing only a walk in a scoreless ninth inning against the Colorado Rockies while striking out two batters. Graveman has been remarkable all year with a 0.90 ERA and 0.70 WHIP to go with 29 strikeouts in 30 innings. His modest saves total is indicative of his usage, as he is often used in high-leverage situations. If he's traded, he stands to retain much of his value, even if he isn't used as a closer in his new situation.
