The trade deadline is not until late July, but teams are already making moves. The Los Angeles Angels traded pitcher Jimmy Herget to the Atlanta Braves on Thursday, per Angels PR.
Atlanta already features pitching depth. The Braves are always open to boosting their pitching staff, though. This is not a game-changing move by any means, but it could pay dividends for Atlanta down the road.
Herget is a 30-year-old reliever who made his MLB debut in 2019. The Braves bullpen is currently led by closer Raisel Iglesias. Other relievers such as AJ Minter and Joe Jimenez also play pivotal roles in the bullpen.
