Atlanta Braves acquire closer Raisel Iglesias from Los Angeles Angels to cap busy trade deadline day

After acquiring corner outfielder Robbie Grossman from the Detroit Tigers late Monday, general manager Alex Anthopoulos started the day finalizing a deal that brought right-hander Jake Odorizzi from the Houston Astros in exchange for former Atlanta closer Will Smith.

Then, barely beating the clock before the 6 p.m. ET deadline, the Braves landed Los Angeles Angels closer Raisel Iglesias for reliever Jesse Chavez and pitching prospect Tucker Davidson.

The flurry of trades, which also included Monday’s less-prominent deal that brought Washington infielder Ehire Adrianza back to Atlanta to help fill in while Ozzie Albies recovers from a broken foot, was reminiscent of the moves Anthopoulos pulled off at the 2021 deadline.

The Braves can only hope they lead to the same result.

Salary dump. Iglesias has been bad in this first season of his four-year extension.

Look, here is a wonderful forum, a wonderful site, where there is a lot of information and a lot of thoughts, a lot of good statements, well really, here I am interested in reading it. Just a question - would I be able to do it if there were no online companies that help people like me. I'm a student and every day the tendency for my instructor to give me more assignments is increasing. What to do? Where do I find the time to visit my favorite website? I can still browse your service only because I can post a request I need a paper at https://writemypapers4me.net/ and the experts are sure to contact me and help
