As Jake told you a couple of hours ago, the Atlanta Braves swapped recently DFA’d lefty Jesse Biddle along with Arodys Vizcaino with and his surgically-repaired-but-nowhere-near-ready shoulder, to Seattle for Anthony Swarzak and $2M. That cash makes the trade payroll neutral and effectively a swap of bad contracts.
Vizcaino’s done for the year – if not longer – and his arm’s been of questionable stability for a while. Biddle was solid to start 2018 but tired late and fell apart this year.
We know those guys, but who is this Swarzak guy?
