Nick Anderson is a talented right-handed reliever who threw important innings early in the season, but just can’t seem to stay healthy. Despite controlling him for a few more years, the Braves sent him to Kansas City in exchange for cash in the offseason.
How Acquired
The Braves took a flyer on Anderson coming into the season with hopes of striking gold. Anderson hadn’t pitched much in the years prior with a bevy of injuries, but for minimal money ($875,000, which is barely above league minimum) and plenty of bullpen depth to lean on in case it didn’t work, it was a worthwhile addition.
