ATLANTA -- Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos enhanced his bench with power potential, created a chance to platoon Ender Inciarte and added another plus defender to his outfield mix by acquiring former All-Star Adam Duvall in exchange for three players who likely would have been removed from the 40-man roster this offseason.
After Monday night's 5-3 win over the Marlins, the Braves announced they acquired Duvall from the Reds for outfielder Preston Tucker and right-handed pitchers Matt Wisler and Lucas Sims. The move should improve the offense against lefties, but it will also impact a bench that lacked a true power source.
