Braves Lose Out to Phillies in Luzardo Sweepstakes

The Atlanta Braves see another division rival make a big move. The Philadelphia Phillies have acquired left-handed starting pitcher Jesús Luzardo from the Miami Marlins.

FanSided’s Robert Murray was the first to report the move. The New York Post’s Jon Heyman confirmed it next and included that the Phillies traded infielder Starlyn Caba (Phillies' No. 4 prospect) and outfielder Emaarion Boyd (Phillies’ No. 23 prospect).

While it’s frustrating for fans to see another rival make a move when the Braves didn’t, it wasn’t because they sat on their hands.
