The Atlanta Braves fire sale continued today, as the club dealt outfielder Cameron Maybin and cash considerations to the Detroit Tigers in exchange for relievers Ian Krol and Gabe Speier.
Maybin returns to the Tigers organization, where he was drafted in the 1st round back in 2005. Acquired by the Braves in the Craig Kimbrel deal, 2015 proved to be a solid season for the center fielder. He notched career-high 10 home runs and 59 RBI, to go with 23 stolen bases, a .267 batting average, and a .327 OBP. Despite his impressive season at the plate, he regressed defensively, posting a career worst -16 defensive runs saved, and a -7.
