The Houston Astros agree to send:
OF   Ronald Acuna Jr.      2026   $ 7.0   $ 7.0   $ 7.0
MI   Santiago Espinal   P-2025   $ 0.5   $ 0.5
SP   Yu-Min Lin (prospect)

to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for:
MI   Jordan Westburg   P-2026   $ 0.5   $ 0.5   $ 0.5
OF   Sal Frelick                   P-2026   $ 0.5   $ 0.5   $ 0.5
SP   Brayan Bello           P-2024   $ 0.5
MI   Jose Perdomo (prospect)

Houston moves the valuable but injured Acuna in exchange for multiple players that can help now in positions of need and a promising prospect with a mighty bat and some salary relief.

Atlanta to confirm

The Braves do this to add a franchise calibre player to the squad and add a nice young prospect in Lin as well. The package is tough to lose, especially Westburg and Frelick, but it is not often you get the opportunity to deal for a true superstar when healthy.
Nice dealing w/the Astros
