Braves reacquire Bourn in 3-player deal with Cleveland (The Associated Press)

ATLANTA (AP) -- The Atlanta Braves reacquired outfielder Michael Bourn in a trade Friday with Cleveland, also landing outfielder Nick Swisher while dealing third baseman Chris Johnson to the Indians in a swap of disappointing players.

Cleveland sent cash to the Braves as well, helping cover the hefty contracts of the two players coming to Atlanta.

Bourn was acquired by the Braves at the 2011 trade deadline and made the All-Star Game the following season before signing with Cleveland as a free agent. The 32-year-old is hitting .246 with 19 RBIs and 13 stolen bases.
