SEATTLE (AP) — The Atlanta Braves acquired outfielder Jarred Kelenic, pitcher Marco Gonzales and infielder Evan White from the Seattle Mariners on Sunday night for right-handed pitchers Cole Phillips and Jackson Kowar.
The move added a veteran lefty to the Braves pitching staff, along with Kelenic, who at one time was one of baseball's top young prospect.
In the process, Seattle cleared a chunk of salary off its payroll, giving up on Kelenic in order for the Braves to take the contracts of Gonzales and White.
Gonzales is owed $12 million for the 2024 season, while White has $17 million in guaranteed money remaining on his contract.
Gonzales pitched in only 10 games last season before undergoing surgery to relieve pressure on a nerve in his left arm.
