MLB Trade Rumors: Braves Linked To All-Star Starter

June 20, 2024 ,

The Atlanta Braves are being linked to Los Angeles Angels' All-Star starter Tyler Anderson in recent trade rumors as they seek to bolster their roster ahead of the MLB trade deadline. 

The Braves are facing significant injuries to key players like Ronald Acuña Jr. and Spencer Strider, which has created urgent needs in both their starting rotation and outfield. 

The fifth spot in their rotation has been a revolving door of five different pitchers this season, none of whom have managed to stabilize the position.

Tyler Anderson, a 34-year-old veteran with a productive nine-year career, is having a successful season with a 2.63 ERA and has been the Angels' top starter. 

His consistent performance, highlighted by an All-Star appearance in 2022, makes him an attractive target for the Braves. The potential fit is further supported by the praise from former Braves coach and current Angels Manager Ron Washington, who has commended Anderson's abilities. 

Acquiring Anderson would provide the Braves with a much-needed stable presence in their rotation, offering both experience and reliability.

According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the Braves and Angels could be ideal trade partners for Anderson. 

With General Manager Alex Anthopoulos actively monitoring the trade market, there is a good chance that a deal could be imminent. 

Anderson’s stability and experience would be a significant upgrade for Atlanta’s rotation, potentially enhancing their playoff push without the exorbitant cost associated with other top-tier pitchers on the market.
