ATL/ LAA

[Atlanta Braves]

Braves Get

J Berrios Min 3.06 ARB2 ARB3 UFA
R Salinas NYY prospect

Angels Get

M Muncy LAD 1.5, 2.25, UFA
Y Chirinos TB 1, ARB1, ARB2, ARB3, UFA
L Raley Min Prospect

I wanted to get a 2nd ace to go along with snell and think Berrios is close to that. Muncy is a piece I didn’t want to lose being a 35 homer guy that can play 3 positions. I downgrade at 1B quite a bit and give up a TC SP along with Muncy but that’s the way it goes. Gotta give good prices to get a SP like Berrios.

[Los Angeles Angels]

The versatility of Muncy to provide above average production at 3 positions gives the Angels valuable flexibility at a great salary. Chirinos, though no Berrios, is a good option on the back end of the rotation or long bullpen arm. Raley is also a nice throw in off to a great start.

Losing a young ace always hurts but this trade should benefit both teams.
