The Atlanta Braves and San Francisco Giants are making a trade. Right-handed pitcher Tyler Mahle will go to Atlanta, per Robert Murray.

Murray writes on X: “The Atlanta Braves are acquiring right-hander Tyler Mahle in a trade with the San Francisco Giants, according to sources familiar with the deal. Anthony Molina is going to the Giants.” 

In return for Mahle, the Giants will be receiving right-hander Anthony Molina. In his short MLB career, he has seen little-to-no success and will be a project for the Giants. 

In reality, this is a salary dump for San Francisco, as they are in the midst of an atrocious season. Gutting the books is the first order of business for Buster Posey’s club. 

Mahle, 31, was a breakout star last season. In 86.2 innings, he managed a 2.18 ERA and 2.2 bWAR. 

This season hasn’t been quite as bountiful. Through 94.2 innings, Mahle has a middling 5.13 ERA, with -0.2 bWAR. It’s been a rough go for the veteran starter. 

The Braves have been looking for innings all season, and they finally found some.
