Atlanta and the White Sox pulled off the first significant trade of the offseason Thursday night, with the Braves acquiring left-handed reliever Aaron Bummer for a five-player package as Chicago looks to rebuild its roster.
The 30-year-old Bummer, whose 6.79 ERA this season was nearly twice his Fielding Independent Pitching number, will add to a deep Braves bullpen. Going back to Chicago are right-hander Michael Soroka -- who was a candidate to be let go by Atlanta on Friday's nontender deadline -- left-hander Jared Shuster, shortstop Braden Shewmake, infielder Nicky Lopez and right-hander Riley Gowens.
