Even though 2025 has not gone the way that the Atlanta Braves have hoped, the mindset has not changed. The odds of the Braves making the playoffs at this juncture are pretty slim. However, that doesn't mean that GM Alex Anthopoulos still doesn't have a contending mindset. Now, with the MLB trade deadline looming, it seems as if that mindset has paid off for Atlanta. According to MLB insider Mark Feinsand on X (formerly Twitter), the Braves have acquired reliever Tyler Kinley from the Colorado Rockies.
“The Braves are acquiring RHP Tyler Kinley from the Rockies for a prospect, per source,” reported Feinsand on the social media platform.
