Shane Greene Traded To Atlanta
5 years agoThe Detroit Tigers have traded closer Shane Greene to the Atlanta Braves. In terms of fantasy ramifications, fantasy owners don't need to worry about losing many saves, as Greene should get the bulk of the save opportunities in Atlanta over Luke Jackson and Co. On the year, the 30-year-old has absolutely dominated with a 1.18 ERA and 0.87 WHIP along with 43 strikeouts in 38 innings and should continue to deliver value down the stretch for a much better team. Joe Jimenez looks likely to assume closer duties for the Tigers, but if he continues to pitch to the tune of a 5.05 ERA, Buck Farmer won't be far behind. Jackson loses the most fantasy appeal with the Braves move to acquire Greene.
