ATL/ NYY

[Atlanta Braves]

Braves Gets

RP J Leclerq Tex 1.8, Arb1, Arb2, Arb3, UFA


Yankees Get

2B B Dozier Wash 6.75, 13.5, 13.5, 13.5, UFA


I feel like I have built a pretty nice future but have nothing really at RP. Leclerq has obviously struggled horribly this year but he’s young and I hope he can bounce back even if he doesn’t ever regain his closer role. Dozier is a nice get for a playoff contender as he is coming on lately and is notoriously a second half hitter. Good luck Yanks and thanks for the deal.

NYY agree to this trade to bring on Brian Dozier. With Trevor Story just going down with a thumb injury and not sure of the time he will be out for we felt we needed to add Dozier now to help our middle infield situation. While we have always highly regarded Leclrec our recent acquisition of Kimbrel made it easier to part with him, and as Braves stated he has struggled mightly this year, hopefully he can return to form for them in the future.

Thanks to ATL for the swift and easy negotiations....Nice doing business with you!
