The Atlanta Braves have had a relatively quiet offseason, but one trade pitch has them acquiring a star pitcher in a multi-player blockbuster.

Bleacher Report’s MLB analyst Zachary D. Rymer released realistic trade pitches and one was a five-player blockbuster with the Minnesota Twins, that sees the Braves acquiring Pablo Lopez.

Braves acquire:

  • RHP Pablo Lopez
  • C Christian Vasquez

Twins acquire:

  • C Drake Baldwin (Braves’ No. 1 prospect)
  • RHP Hurston Waldrep (Braves’ No. 2 prospect)
  • RHP JR Ritchie (Braves’ No. 6 prospect)

The proposed deal would be a blockbuster as Atlanta would acquire Lopez and Vasquez for three of their top prospects.
