The Atlanta Braves have made the first trade of MLB's offseason, sending veteran outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler to the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for right-handed starter Griffin Canning. The move frees up significant financial flexibility for the Braves, with Soler having two years and $26 million remaining on his contract compared to Canning's projected $5 million salary. The trade also highlights the Braves' ability to analyze and enhance pitchers, a trait they've demonstrated in the past.
