The Atlanta Braves have traded outfielder Kyle Wren to the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for minor league pitcher Zach Quintana.
The Atlanta Braves have dealt outfielder Kyle Wren to the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for minor league pitcher Zach Quintana.
After generating a lot of noise throughout the week, the Braves made a trade. The impact is minimal on the current roster but it is a bit eye opening none the less.
Wren hit .304/.362/.398 in two seasons in the minors. He was a former standout at Georgia Tech and the son of former General Manager Frank Wren. He spent last season at Double-A Mississippi.
Quintana is a former 3rd round pick and hasn't had a lot of success at the minor league level. He went 4-5 with a 5.70 ERA at the single-A level last season. In three seasons as a professional he is 11-13 with a 6.15 ERA in 52 games.
This is move seems very gutsy, to be sure. A leading OF prospect for a single A right-handed pitcher? John Hart has a set of cajones on him, doesn't he. Nevertheless, if he can address the problems of restocking the minor league farm system without trading away a big bat like Evan Gattis, I'm all for it.
