Franchise GM: Completed Trades / Dodgers/Braves 1/31/22 6:19 pm ET
« on: January 31, 2022, 07:06:44 PM »
Braves Receive:
Prospects
Colson Montgomery (SS-3B/CHW)
Otto Lopez (2B/TOR) P-N/A
T.J. Sikkema (SP/NYY)
Dodgers Receive
Prospect Diego Cartaya (C/LAD)
Braves doing this to gain depth in the minors and solidify the hopeful future infield with Lopez, who is likely a year or 2 ahead of the curve for his age and Montgomery who could start flying up boards once some power comes in and he shows what he can do over a full minor league season. Sikkema is a bit unknown right now, but does have nice upside as a hopeful starter. Losing Cartaya was difficult, but the deal improves the Braves future outlook.
Thanks LAD
Pls note: Upon approval of deal, the Braves will drop the following players to stay w/in roster compliance:
Connor Wong C/BOS (P-N/A)
John Gant SP/RP-N/A ($1.5M/2022) *ATL accepts any cap penalty for Gant drop for 2022*
