The Atlanta Braves have retooled their outfield by trading for this power hitter

The Atlanta Braves added a new piece to their outfield Monday night by trading for Cincinnati Reds left fielder/first baseman Adam Duvall. The Braves acquired the 2016 All-Star and sent pitchers Matt Wisler and Lucas Sims as well as outfielder Preston Tucker to Cincinnati.

Duvall had a .205 batting average with 15 home runs and 61 RBI for the Reds this season. He has struck out 100 times in 2018, tied for 14th-most in the National League this year.

Per the Athletic’s David O’Brien, Duvall’s 79 home runs since the start of the 2016 season tie him with Chicago Cubs players Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo as well as Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman for the 17th-most in Major League Baseball.
