5 years agoThe Atlanta Braves have acquired relief pitcher Chris Martin from the Texas Rangers for Triple-A pitcher Kolby Allard. Martin is having a nice season with a 3.08 ERA and a 2.94 xFIP on the season with 10.18 strikeouts per nine innings. Martin has four saves for Texas this season, but will likely slide in behind Luke Jackson in the Braves pecking order for saves. As for the Rangers, this trade may give Jose Leclerc another opportunity to earn saves despite his struggles this season with Brett Martin another candidate to see ninth-inning work.--Mike Schwarzenbach - RotoBaller
