Braves Make First Trade Deadline Move | Atlanta Braves News

Braves make their first trade deadline move, acquiring outfielder Lane Thomas and pitcher Bailey Falter from the Royals — a smart boost for the stretch run. Thomas thrives vs. lefties with an .800 OPS and can play all three outfield spots, while Falter, though shaky in MLB (15 ER in 9.2 IP), boasts a strong 3.35 ERA in Triple-A. In return, Royals get Lucas Braun and Carter Holton — giving Braves depth and potential future bullpen options. With deadline still days away, this is just the start of Atlanta’s playoff push.
