Mar. 14—The Atlanta Braves have agreed to a trade for Oakland A's first baseman Matt Olson, a Parkview grad, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
The deal likely signals that the Braves won't re-sign star first baseman Freddie Freeman.
Atlanta will trade outfielder Christian Pache, catcher Shea Langeliers and starting pitchers Ryan Cusick and Joey Estes for Olson, Passan reported.
Olson, who turns 28 later this month, hit .271 with 39 home runs and 111 RBIs last season and was an All-Star selection for the first time. The left-handed slugger, also a two-time Gold Glove winner, was drafted in the first round by the A's in 2012.
