This move is probably a Loss on paper for the Astros, but it's pretty clear The Astros want a guy to face Lefties, and they think Smith is fixable. He's "only" 32 & is having his career worst year after being consistently above average for his Career.
When you consider what's replacing Odo (LMJ / Hunter Brown? / 5 Man rotation) this really isn't much of a loss.
