The Mets traded left-handed reliever Josh Smoker to the Pittsburgh Pirates for minor league southpaw Daniel Zamora, a product of Stony Brook University, and cash.

The 24-year-old Zamora, also a reliever, went 2-4 with nine saves and a 1.76 ERA last year from Class A Bradenton and Double-A Altoona. He struck out 63 in 56 1/3 innings and was a Florida State League All-Star.

The team announced the swap Wednesday, five days after designating Smoker for assignment to clear a roster spot for re-signed infielder Jose Reyes.

Smoker was 3-0 with a 4.70 ERA for the Mets as a rookie in 2016, then went 1-2 with a 5.11 ERA and 68 strikeouts in 56 1/3 innings over 54 relief appearances last year. He was sidelined from June 14 to July 10 with a strained left shoulder and had a 2.63 ERA in 32 games following his return.

Smoker, who turned 29 in November, enters games to Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water."
