RP Shane Greene Reportedly Traded from Tigers to Braves; Has 1.18 ERA, 22 Saves

The Detroit Tigers agreed to trade reliever Shane Greene to the Atlanta Braves, according to ESPN's Buster Olney.

The 30-year-old is 0-2 with a 1.18 ERA and 0.87 WHIP with 22 saves in 25 save opportunities.

The trade will have come as no surprise to Greene, who discussed the possibility of a move in an interview on July 9, per Evan Woodbery of MLive.com:

"It's definitely realistic. If you're a back-end bullpen guy and you're pitching well, there's a good chance you're going to get traded if your team's not winning.
