The Braves released left-hander Aaron Bummer and placed catcher Drake Baldwin on the 10-day injured list with an oblique strain, while activating Dylan Dodd, recalling Victor Mederos, and adding Chadwick Tromp. With Baldwin and Murphy sidelined, Atlanta’s catching depth takes a hit as Tromp and Sandy León handle duties until Baldwin returns.
The Atlanta Braves acquire left-handed reliever Aaron Bummer from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for pitcher Michael Soroka, infielders Nick Lopez and Braden Shewmake, and pitchers Jared Shuster and Riley Gowens. The White Sox prioritize quantity over quality in the trade, adding several players who were likely to be non-tendered by Atlanta. Meanwhile, the Colorado Rockies acquire right-handed pitcher Cal Quantrill from the Cleveland Guardians in exchange for catching prospect Kody Huff. Quantrill's low strikeout rates and command style of pitching may not be a good fit for the Rockies, who play in a hitter-friendly ballpark.
The Chicago White Sox and Chicago Cubs could potentially make a trade that benefits both teams. The White Sox could offer left-handed reliever Aaron Bummer, who has been unlucky with his run prevention due to bad luck and defense behind him. In return, the Cubs could provide infield defense to help Bummer thrive. Additionally, the White Sox could regain former player Nick Madrigal, who would play second base for them. Madrigal's position with the Cubs is limited due to other players in the mix, making a move back to the White Sox worth considering.
