Shortly after the Atlanta Braves announced that they had brought back Raisel Iglesias on a one-year deal, it turns out that Alex Anthopoulos wasn’t done for the night. Indeed, the Braves have once again brought out the “white text on a blue background” social media post to announce another deal. This time, it’s their second trade of the day and it’s a big one.
The Braves are bringing in Mauricio Dubón from the Houston Astros in exchange for Nick Allen.
This looks like just a straight-up swap, as the Braves will be getting the reigning AL Gold Glove Award winner as a utility player in the form of Dubón in exchange for a NL Gold Glove Award finalist in the form of Allen. Allen will be leaving the Braves with a paltry slash line of .221/.284/.251 with a .245 wOBA, 53 wRC+ and 22 RBI. Howeve
