BRAVES ACQUIRE RELIEVER RAVIN
The Atlanta Braves acquired pitcher Josh Ravin from the Los Angeles Dodgers for cash.
What does it give the Atlanta Braves
This is the first trade for new General Manager Alex Anthopoulos, amid plenty of off-field distractions stemming from his predecessor (John Coppolella). Ravin is a solid right-hander who should crack Atlanta's bullpen in 2018.
What does it give the Los Angeles Dodgers
The Dodgers recently designated Ravin for assignment in order to add a few prospects to their 40-man roster. Therefore, they did fairly well simply to get back a little cash in exchange for Ravin's services.
Fantasy impact
Ravin is not yet a fantasy factor, as he will have to make Atlanta's bullpen and become an important cog over the course of 2018 in order to become a viable option.
