The Atlanta Braves are trading outfielder Jorge Soler to the Los Angeles Angels just hours after the conclusion of the World Series, marking the start of the offseason.
Despite a better performance with the Braves, where Soler improved his hard contact rate significantly, the team decided swiftly to offload his contract to save money.
In exchange for Soler, the Braves received Griffin Canning, allowing them to save an estimated $20.9 million over the next two seasons, illustrating the financial strategies teams are employing.
The deal reflects the ongoing trend of teams shedding salary and optimizing rosters during the offseason, particularly aimed at minimizing financial commitments.
