The Braves added what they hope will be significant depth for their depleted outfield with the additions of Adam Duvall, Jorge Soler and Eddie Rosario. The team also acquired Pirates closer Richard Rodriguez right before the 4 p.m. ET deadline in an effort to bolster a bullpen that has been inconsistent throughout the 2021 season.
