Braves, Padres agree to Matt Carpenter-led trade

The Atlanta Braves and San Diego Padres have each made a handful of moves this offseason. But it looks like the two organizations came to an agreement on Friday evening. Atlanta and San Diego finalized a trade involving veteran third baseman, Matt Carpenter.

Left-handed pitcher, Ray Kerr, will be joining Carpenter with the Braves, according to Robert Murray of FanSided. It's a move Atlanta hopes will improve its bullpen.

“The Braves are acquiring left-hander Ray Kerr and designated hitter Matt Carpenter in a trade with the Padres.”

Meanwhile, San Diego announced they dealt Kerr and Carpenter away for outfielder Drew Campbell.
