A high-profile prospect added via trade early in the rebuild, Touki Toussaint has yet to establish himself at the major league level, and didn’t do much with the chances he got in 2021.
How Acquired
Touki Toussaint was drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the first round of the 2014 draft out of Coral Springs Christian Academy (Florida). The Braves acquired Toussaint and pitcher Bronson Arroyo from the Diamondbacks for utilityman Phil Gosselin on June 20, 2015. The trade was a dump of the injured Arroyo’s remaining salary to the Braves in the lesser of two notorious trades the two organizations made early in the Braves rebuild.
