The Atlanta Braves may not have made the flashiest moves at the trade deadline. However, they addressed some of their needs with serviceable options. They didn't have to move their best prospects, and that can be important for the offseason.
However, Atlanta did have to trade away some talent. Trades are notorious for going sour for one or both sides. Here, we take a look at how the players traded away have fared since being moved to their new organizations.
Here are the players that the Braves traded away at the deadline and how they are doing with their new teams
Eli White
White was traded to the Red Sox for left-handed pitcher Tyler Uberstine. It was an interesting decision, as White was a great asset off the bench. However, the Braves' acquisition of Lane Thomas made him expendable. White has already impacted his new team with a couple of clutch hits and great defense. He isn't putting up incredible numbers, but he's still shown how valuable he is.
Joey Bart
Bart has ridden the roster carousel this season as he's played for the Pirates, Braves, and now the White Sox. Atlanta kept Bart until Sean Murphy was ready to return from his injury. Bart was then sent to Chicago for pitcher Duncan Davitt. The former Braves catcher has served in a backup role and only appeared in three games for his new squad. He's hitless with one walk and four strikeouts.
Nacho Alvarez Jr.
Alvarez was having a mediocre season at Triple-A Gwinnett when the Braves traded him to the Angels for lefty reliever Brent Suter. Alvarez had a .236 average with seven doubles, two homers, 21 RBI, and a .663 OPS. He suffered an undisclosed injury towards the end of May and was transferred to the 60-day IL in July. So, Alvarez hasn't played for his new team just yet.
Anthony Molina
Molina was traded to the Giants in exchange for starting pitcher Tyler Mahle. Molina had been up and down with the Braves bullpen most of the season. After being acquired, he was assigned to the Giants' Triple-A affiliate in Sacramento. He's pitched nine minor league innings with a 3.00 ERA, two walks, and nine strikeouts since joining his new organization.
Carter Holton and Lucas Braun
Holton and Braun were the minor league arms that went to the Royals in a trade for Lane Thomas and Bailey Falter. This trade allowed the Braves to acquire a bat that crushes left-handed pitching and a potential arm for the rotation.
Braun was a budding prospect who had aspirations of reaching the big leagues. However, he still needed some development. He has a 5.40 ERA, five walks, and 13 strikeouts over 16.2 innings with the Royals' Triple-A affiliate. Holton was added to the injured list just a couple of days after he was added to the Columbia Fireflies' roster. So, the southpaw hasn't pitched again since being traded away.
