In return, Atlanta is reportedly sending reliever Will Smith to Houston and minor-league pitcher Kris Anglin to Detroit.<\/p>\n<p>Atlanta and Houston, who faced off in last year&#8217;s World Series, are both dealing from positions of strength in their trade.  The Astros rotation has recorded a 3.18 ERA, the best mark in the AL, and is also ranked first in the majors in Fangraphs&#8217; version of WAR.  The Braves bullpen is a top-five unit by ERA and the second-best in the majors by fWAR.  The Astros and Braves also rank first and second, respectively, in overall pitching fWAR. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\"\/>\n<p>Odorizzi has recorded a 3.75 ERA in 12 starts for Houston this season, striking out 46 hitters and allowing just five home runs in 60 innings.  He&#8217;s making $5 million this season and has a $6.5 million 2023 player option.<\/p>\n<section class=\"m-in-content-recommendation m-detail--in-content-recommendation h-isolated-styles mm-component-stack--is-body-item\" style=\"--title_size_a_font_size:16;--title_size_b_font_size:16;--title_size_c_font_size:16;\">\n<p><span>Scroll to Continue<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>Smith has logged a 4.38 ERA in 41 games, collecting five saves with 41 strikeouts and seven homers allowed in 37 innings.  While serving as Atlanta&#8217;s closer last year, he allowed zero runs in 11 innings during Atlanta&#8217;s playoff run, making him the second reliever to ever go complete at least 11 shutout innings in a single postseason.  But he was usurped by offseason signee Kenley Jansen and fell in Atlanta&#8217;s bullpen pecking order as the season went on.  He&#8217;s earning $13 million in the final year of his contract.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<p>The Braves had reportedly been looking for outfield help in the wake of Adam Duvall&#8217;s season-ending wrist injury.  They get it in the form of Grossman, who has overall struggled at the plate this year with a .205\/.313\/.282 slash line, but has posted a stellar .364\/.479\/.520 line against left-handed pitchers .  He&#8217;ll likely be used in a platoon role in Atlanta while earning a prorated amount of his $5 million salary before entering free agency in the offseason.<\/p>\n<p>Anglin was Atlanta&#8217;s 16th-round pick in the &#8217;21 draft.  He&#8217;s posted a 4.64 ERA with 56 strikeouts in 52 1\/3 innings across rookie ball and Single A this season.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<p><strong>More MLB Trade Deadline Coverage:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 Making Sense of the Puzzling Josh Hader Trade<br \/>\u2022 Everything You Need to Know Before the MLB Trade Deadline<br \/><\/strong><strong>\u2022 Juan Soto Trade Deadline Predictions<br \/>\u2022 The Weirdest Baseball Trades Ever<br \/><\/strong><strong>\u2022 With Luis Castillo Trade, Mariners Are Aiming for October Run<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script type=\"text\/template\" id=\"facebookPixel1103097776498609\">!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function()\n{n.callMethod? n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)}\n;if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n(function(){\n    fbq('init', '1103097776498609');\n    fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    var contentId = 'ci02a7b525b0002662';\n    if (contentId !== '') {\n        fbq('track', 'ViewContent', {content_ids: [contentId], content_type: 'product'});\n    }\n})();<\/script>    .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Atlanta has reportedly made a pair of late-night acquisitions on the eve of the trade deadline. the Braves are adding starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi from the astrosaccording to KRIV&#8217;s Mark Bermanand outfielder Robbie Grossman from the tigersaccording to ESPN&#8217;s Jeff Passan.
