The Braves made several roster moves as they prepare for Opening Day, trading Ian Anderson to the Angels in exchange for Jose Suarez, who may provide left-handed depth despite recent struggles. They also signed Jesse Chavez to a minor league deal, adding familiarity and depth to their pitching staff. Anderson's trade was expected after a disappointing Spring, while the additional moves included sending Bryce Elder to the minors and reassessing other recent additions. Overall, the Braves are aiming to bolster their roster for the upcoming season.
The Braves traded Ian Anderson to the Angels for Jose Suarez and signed Jesse Chavez, adding pitching depth as they finalize their Opening Day roster.
Moving Anderson was unsurprising, as his underwhelming Spring made him seem expendable, but the Braves hope to find early value in Suarez.
Chavez, rejoining the Braves, adds depth to the pitching staff, proving that having more options is beneficial even if his performance is uncertain.
Beyond these moves, the Braves also optioned Bryce Elder and reassigned Craig Kimbrel, James McCann, and Chavez as they trim their roster.
