The Atlanta Braves have done the necessary thing: they have picked up a stop-gap outfielder in Joc Pederson.
Is this the BIG trade we were waiting for? No, but it is a good move by the Atlanta Braves in picking up a capable hitter from the Cubs in Joc Pederson who has a chance of sticking around for another campaign.
The Braves have acquired OF Joc Pederson from the Cubs in exchange for 1B prospect Bryce Ball.
