Braves mercifully end Nick Allen era in Atlanta after trade for versatile Gold Glover

The Atlanta Braves were rather busy on Wednesday. Things started with their trade for Rockies pitcher Ryan Rolison for cash. Hours later, Atlanta announced they agree to terms on a one-year, $16 million contract to bring back closer Raisel Iglesias.

It felt like that might enough for one day. However, the Braves weren't finished making moves as they completed a trade to impact their infield. Rumors had been going around that the Braves had interest in Astros shortstop Mauricio Dubon.

Atlanta confirmed this as they announced a trade that sent Nick Allen to Houston in return.
