On Wednesday afternoon, the Tigers traded closer Shane Greene to the Atlanta Braves in return for two minor leaguers: lefthander Joey Wentz and outfielder Travis Demeritte.

Here’s a look at the two players the Tigers acquired from Atlanta. We will follow with a breakdown of the two prospects involved in the Nicholas Castellanos trade later on.
