Braves have traded for Shane Carle from the Pirates for PTBNL or cash

Okay, the move today isn’t a blockbuster trade (looking at you, Yelich rumors...), but the Braves did make an effort to bolster their bullpen options going in to spring training.

The #Braves have acquired RHP Shane Carle from the Pirates for a player to be named later or cash considerations. The 26-year-old made his MLB debut last season with Colorado.

The 26 year old right-hander made his MLB debut with the Rockies in 2017 where he posted a 6.75 ERA in three appearances where he struck out four batters and walked none in four innings of work before getting sent back down to Triple-A.
