At the MLB trade deadline, the Kansas City Royals traded Lane Thomas and left-hander Bailey Falter to the Atlanta Braves; no return was announced yet, but early scouting points to Carter Holton and Lucas Braun as the Braves' prospects in the deal, while analysts differ on the value—some calling the package underwhelming and others suggesting it could be a steal depending on how the prospects pan out.
The Atlanta Braves acquired Lane Thomas and Bailey Falter from the Kansas City Royals in exchange for minor-league pitchers Carter Holton and Lucas Braun.

Falter adds pitching depth to Atlanta’s roster as the team navigates the trade deadline.
The Washington Nationals have designated outfielder Víctor Robles for assignment to make room for Lane Thomas, who was reinstated from the injured list.
