Chavez, a great surprise for the 2021 team, returns to the Braves in exchange for the recently-DFAed Newcomb
Never a dull moment with this team, I’ll tell you what:
The #Braves tonight acquired RHP Jesse Chavez and cash considerations from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for LHP Sean Newcomb. Atlanta’s 40-man roster is now full.

Anyone who watched the 2021 campaign should have at least some familiarity with Chavez, a 38-year-old right-hander who started last season at Triple-A Gwinnett but was called up to Atlanta in late June.
