The Braves discussed a trade for J.T. Realmuto in July, and there were two prominent prospects involved in talks with Miami: Mike Soroka and Austin Riley.
Mark Bowman of MLB.com reported Monday the two clubs spoke about Realmuto prior to the trade deadline but were unable to work out a deal. Here’s more from Bowman:
“To get two years of Realmuto at a cost of approximately $15 million, the Braves would likely have to part ways with at least two of their top 10 prospects. Right-handed pitcher Mike Soroka and third baseman Austin Riley were part of the discussions the Braves had with the Marlins in July.
