What was the last trade the Atlanta Braves made with each MLB team?
By Matt Melton
AL West
Houston Astros – RHP Jake Odorizzi (August 2, 2022)
We begin the AL West with the defending World Series champion Astros, as well as a one-for-one trade that was made back at the 2022 MLB trade deadline. The Braves received Odorizzi, a right-hander, for veteran reliever Will Smith, with neither player still with either team.
Los Angeles Angels – RHP Raisel Iglesias (August 2, 2022)
Another prominent trade at the 2022 MLB trade deadline also came with the Los Angeles Angels, where the Braves acquired Iglesias for a pair of pitchers – RHP Jesse Chavez and LHP Tucker Davidson. At the time of writing, Iglesias, as well as Chavez, are with Atlanta, while Davidson is still with the Angels.
Oakland Athletics – C Sean Murphy (December 12, 2022)
Arguably the most recent trade that made the biggest headlines for the Atlanta Braves came back on December 12, 2022 when the club acquired Murphy in a multi-team deal. In return, Oakland received four players from Atlanta – C Manny Pina, LHP Kyle Muller, RHP Freddy Tarnok, and RHP Royber Salinas – as well as 2B Esteury Ruiz from Milwaukee.
Seattle Mariners – RHP Anthony Swarzak (May 20, 2019)
The lone AL West trade that did not take place from 2022-now came with the Mariners back on May 20, 2019, with the Braves acquiring Swarzak and cash. In return, Seattle received a pair of relievers – RHP Arodys Vizcaino and LHP Jesse Biddle.
Texas Rangers – OF Eli White (January 3, 2023)
Concluding the AL West here with the Rangers, this is the most recent trade that the Atlanta Braves have made up to this point. Completed on January 3, 2023, the Braves acquired White from Texas for cash.
