Just like that, it’s August. The dust kicked up during a crazy Trade Deadline has settled. That gives us a bit of a breather to examine the deals themselves, and think about the value that changed hands.
As a refresher, the Braves made four deals as July came to an end:
- LHP Jonny Venters acquired for “an international slot,” which I interpret to mean $250,000 in international bonus pool, based on this being the smallest tradeable increment (see here).
- RHP Brad Brach acquired for the same $250,000 in international bonus pool (slot).
