In addition to the start of the Winter Meetings and the Qualifying Offer deadline, Tuesday also marked the deadline for clubs to add any eligible players to the 40-man roster to protect them from the Rule 5 Draft. Several teams made roster moves ahead of the deadline, but not the Braves."

The Red Sox completed another trade and sent lefty Chris Murphy to the Chicago White Sox. Finally, the club swapped righty Luis Guerrero with the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for infielder Tristan Gray."
