Nationals/Braves-5/18/22 4:59 PM-PLEASE READ

[Braves155]

trades
SP/TEX Glenn Otto $0.5M (P-N/A)
SP/COL Joe Rock (P-N/A) Prospect
MI/CIN Ivan Johnson (P-N/A) Prospect
CI/LAA Matt Thaiss $0.5M (2023)

trades
(CI/HOU) Aledmys Diaz $1M (2022)
(SP, RP/CIN) Jeff Hoffman $0.5M (2022)
(CI/SF) Casey Schmitt $0.5M (P-N/A) Prospect

This is about getting younger for the Braves. We take a chance on Otto, but he is young enough to take a chance on and the addition of Jow Rock should help us solidify the rotation of the future. The gains in this deal should reap us rewards in the future.

Pending approval, please advise should a minors move be needed.

Edit for Mods: Please place Otto and Thaiss on Active Roster.
Braves will elect to keep BOTH Johnson and Rock in MiLB for now. Further moves for current minors will be decided in the coming days.

Accept

Our bench / relief corps has been decimated by demotions and injuries.  Diaz and Hoffman provide options to bolster these areas for a reasonable price.

Please send Schmitt to the minors pending approval.

Thanks Ben!

This deal must be re-worked. Schmitt was previously traded to Cleveland on 4/20: http://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?topic=405279.0
