The Atlanta Braves and Seattle Mariners are in agreement on a trade that will send outfielder Jarred Kelenic, left-hander Marco Gonzales and first baseman Evan White to the Braves in exchange for right-handers Cole Phillips and Jackson Kowar, sources tell ESPN.
The Braves get Kelenic who just turned 24 and is still a work in progress at the major league level. He had his best season to date in 2023, appearing in 105 games while hitting .253/.327/.419 with 11 home runs and a 108 wRC+. He suffered a broken foot after kicking a water cooler in a game against the Twins last July. Kelenic returned to action in September.
Gonzales appeared in just 10 games before undergoing season-ending surgery due to a nerve issue in his forearm. He posted a 5.22 ERA and a 4.28 FIP in 50 innings. Gonzales will make $12.25 million in 2024. The Mariners gave White a six-year, $24 million deal that also included club options for 2026, 2027 and 2028 prior to his major league debut in 2020 in which he won a Gold Glove.
