Just because the trade deadline has passed does not mean that trade season is completely over.
After the Braves completed the trade of Sean Rodriguez after the non-waiver deadline, it was clear that the Braves were still going to be looking for opportunities to trade assets that did not fit into their long-term plans, especially if it will save some dough. The Braves made another such trade this evening.
Andrew Albers is far from a prospect as he has several stints in the majors and at 31 years old, he is what he is at this point.
