The organization wishes to become more transactional, and this week they’ve started to become just that. That started with Friday’s trade — a deal that sent Jackson Kowar to the Atlanta Braves for injured starter Kyle Wright. While Wright’s upside is rather high, he will miss at least most of the 2024 season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn capsule in his shoulder. As many pieces as the roster needs to improve next season, Wright won’t be one of them. He is a great upgrade over Jackson Kowar, however.
