Tuesday came and went with the Atlanta Braves still having 2 available slots on their 40-man roster. While we may never know for sure, it is reasonably likely that Alex Anthopoulos made a pitch to get one or more of waived Washingtonians to help out his club down the stretch.
He was unsuccessful.
In the end, this is what happened on Tuesday:
- Daniel Murphy was traded to the Cubs for a non-prospect and a player to be named later.
- Matt Adams was reunited with the Cardinals in a cash deal.
