Trade No. 4
- Atlanta Braves receive LHP Marco Gonzales, OF Jarred Kelenic, 1B Evan White
- Seattle Mariners receive RHP Cole Phillips, RHP Jackson Kowar
Speaking of Kowar, the right-hander was part of an Atlanta/Seattle trade in December that sent three different players to the Braves, the biggest of which was current outfielder Jarred Kelenic. Across 28 games with Atlanta so far, Kelenic is slashing .286/.337/.377 with one HR and six RBI.
As for Atlanta's additional return, neither of Gonzales or White would appear in a game with the organization, with both later being traded as well (more on that later also).
In return, Seattle's headline piece of the deal was Phillips, who was among the Braves top prospects at the time of the trade. Phillips is now the Mariners No. 18 prospect according to MLB Pipeline, but has not pitched this season due to injury.
Alongside Phillips, the Mariners also received the aformentioned Kowar as mentioned previously. However, Kowar has also not pitched so far this season due to injury.
Trade No. 5

Atlanta's next trade came only two days later, as the Braves sent the aformentioned Gonzales to the Pirates for cash. The veteran left-hander has made only three starts with Pittsburgh so far in 2024, owning a 2.65 ERA and 11:5 K:BB ratio across 17 IP.
Trade No. 6
- Atlanta Braves receive C Max Stassi, SS David Fletcher
- Los Angeles Angels receive 1B Evan White, LHP Tyler Thomas
Atlanta's next multi-player deal came in mid-December, when the club acquired catcher Max Stassi and infielder David Fletcher from the Los Angeles Angels. However, only one of those players has seen action in the Braves organization so far this season in Fletcher, who has slashed .250/.222/.250 with two RBI across five games in Atlanta, as well as .262/.337/.286 with 13 RBI and three SB over 21 games in Triple-A Gwinnett.
In return, Los Angeles received two players, the first of which was the aforementioned White. White has so far appeared in only two games with the Angels so far this season in which he is 0-for-2.
The Angels also received a minor league pitcher in Thomas, who has made 10 relief appearances so far in Triple-A of the Los Angeles organization. Thomas owns a 1.65 ERA and 11:3 K:BB ratio across 16.1 IP during that span.
