Braves biggest deal is keeping Riley

ATLANTA, Ga. (CBS46) -The Braves made some trades before MLB 6pm deadline, sending relief pitcher Will Smith to Houston for pitcher Jake Odorizzi, getting Robbie Grossman from the Tigers and then just before the 6pm deadline the Braves landed Los Angels Angels closer Raisel Iglesias for reliever Jesse Chavez and pitching prospect Tucker Davidson.

Still in my opinion, the biggest deal of the last week was signing 3rd baseman Austin Riley to the biggest contract in team history. A whopping 10-year contract worth $212 million that carries him through the 2032 campaign. There’s also a $20 million club option for 2033.
