The Atlanta Braves have traded relief pitcher Tyler Yates to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for pitching prospect Todd Redmond.  Yates was out of options and couldn’t be sent back down to the minor leagues unless he would have cleared waivers, which would have never happened so the Braves got something back for him.

Redmond was a pretty good pitching prospect for the Pirates.  I’m excited to see how he does in the Braves farm system this year.
