ATLANTA ADDS ORNELAS
The Atlanta Braves acquired infielder Jonathan Ornelas from the Texas Rangers for cash.
What does it give the Atlanta Braves
Ornelas provides the Braves organization with infield depth. The 25-year-old has limited upside on offense, but he can defend at multiple positions, which makes him a versatile addition in the minors. Ornelas might get a look as a bench player with the Braves at some point this season.
What does it give the Texas Rangers
Ornelas was a third-round pick by the Rangers in 2018, so it is a little disappointing to see him go only for cash. Still, Texas designated him for assignment just before this trade. He wasn't going to be a fit on their MLB roster.
Fantasy impact
Ornelas is unlikely to see much playing time with the Braves, so this trade won't have a fantasy impact.
