The Atlanta Braves traded outfielder Jorge Soler to the Los Angeles Angels for right-hander Griffin Canning, beginning the hot-stove season with a significant deal.
Soler hit .241/.338/.442 with 21 home runs and 64 RBIs last season, and he is owed $32 million over the next two years on his contract.
Canning, a former second-round pick, started 31 games for the Angels last season with a 5.19 ERA, and he will reach free agency after 2025.
As the Braves face potential changes with free agency, Soler is inserted into a promising Angels lineup that features young talents like Logan O'Hoppe and Zach Neto.
