MLB Trade Deadline Shockers: Which Teams Made Genius Moves and Who Set Themselves Up for Disaster?
Atlanta Braves: F+
Moves:
-
Traded RP Rafael Montero to Detroit for IF prospect Jim Jarvis
-
Acquired RP Tyler Kinley from Colorado for RP Austin Smith
-
Acquired SP Erick Fedde from St. Louis for cash considerations or PTBNL
-
Acquires SP Carlos Carrasco from New York (AL) for cash considerations
The Braves, 13.5 games adrift of a wild card, were not particularly flush with enviable rentals. Between Marcell Ozuna’s offensive decline/hip injury and Raisel Iglesias’ poor season, Atlanta was never going to conjure up a massive prospect bounty. But still … this is it? They couldn’t even find a home for solid reliever Pierce Johnson? Odd deadline for Alex Anthopolous, who truly might not know how to be a seller.
