MLB Trade Rumors: The Atlanta Braves have acquired infielder Orlando Arcia from the Milwaukee Brewers, per multiple reports. No specific word on who the Brewers are getting in return, though Jon Heyman says it is “two pitchers.”
Arcia, 26, has been rumored to be on the trade block for quite some time. He appeared to be a longterm answer in the infield for Milwaukee after slashing .277/.324/.407 in his first full season in the majors, putting up a 2.3 bWAR as the team’s everyday shortstop, but has not been able to match that level of performance since.
