HEARN ON THE MOVE AGAIN

The Atlanta Braves acquired infielder Nicky Lopez from the Kansas City Royals for pitcher Taylor Hearn.

What does it give the Atlanta Braves
Lopez is known more for his glove than his bat. He should add infield depth and versatility to the Braves, while providing a little speed off the bench.

What does it give the Kansas City Royals
Hearn played one game for the Braves after coming over in a trade from Texas almost a week ago. He will be hoping for a greater opportunity with the Royals.

Fantasy impact
There is no fantasy impact with this trade, as both Lopez and Hearn are depth options.
