Braves Trade Outfielder, Acquire Pitching Prospect
3 Aug
Summary
- Atlanta Braves traded outfielder Eli White to Boston Red Sox.
- Right-handed pitching prospect Tyler Uberstine acquired in the deal.
- Braves also traded Joey Bart to Chicago White Sox for a reliever.
The Atlanta Braves are actively shaping their roster as the trade deadline approaches. In a recent transaction, the Braves sent outfielder Eli White to the Boston Red Sox, receiving right-handed pitching prospect Tyler Uberstine in return. Uberstine, who was ranked as the Red Sox's 11th-best prospect, has posted a 2.81 ERA in Triple-A.
This move comes as the Braves integrate new talent, with Lane Thomas joining the outfield. White, who batted .233 with five home runs this season, was designated as the player to be moved. The Braves also facilitated another transaction, trading Joey Bart to the Chicago White Sox. This move is expected to clear a roster spot, potentially for Sean Murphy's activation from the injured list.
