The Braves are still awaiting the fruits of their labor, but the payoff could really swing the deal in their favor.
Evan Gattis has an incredible story and gave the Braves two good years. That said, everyone knew a trade was coming during the 2014-2015 offseason. Gattis was an American League player on an NL club, and the Braves were in the midst of kicking off their rebuild.
The Braves dealt Gattis to the Houston Astros on January 15, 2015, for three prospects: Mike Foltynewicz, Rio Ruiz and Andrew Thurman.
