Braves acquire reliever Tyler Kinley from Rockies for minor league pitcher Austin Smith
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Atlanta Braves acquired veteran reliever Tyler Kinley from the Colorado Rockies for minor league pitcher Austin Smith on Wednesday, one day before the non-waiver trade deadline. To make room on the 40-man roster, the Braves designated right-hander Enyel De Los Santos for assignment. The 34-year-old Kinley has spent the past six seasons in Colorado, where he had a spectacular 2022 season in which he went 1-1 with a 0.75 ERA in 25 appearances. But the right-hander has struggled much of the past three years, and Kinley is just 1-3 with a 5.66 ERA with three saves in 49 appearances this season. Kinley is in the last year of a $6.25 million, three-year deal that includes a club option for next season. The 26-year-old Smith is 0-1 with a 2.38 ERA this season at Class-A Rome in the Braves' farm system. ___ AP MLB: The Associated Press

MLB Insider Predicts Yankees Trade For Diamondbacks' $13.5M All-Star
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Baseball season is heating up, but the New York Yankees have cooled off dramatically. Sitting at 22-28 in their last 50 games, the Yankees have turned a seven-game lead in the American League East into a 5 1/2-game deficit. They're now missing superstar Aaron Judge for what they hope is only about 10 games, and their pitching staff is shorthanded. By the Thursday trade deadline, the Yankees have to add pitching reinforcements if they want any shot at defending their AL pennant from last season. PHOENIX, ARIZONA - MARCH 29: Zac Gallen #23 greets starting pitcher Merrill Kelly #29 of the Arizona Diamondbacks after Kelly was removed from the game during the seventh inning against the Colorado Rockies at Chase... PHOENIX, ARIZONA - MARCH 29: Zac Gallen #23 greets starting pitcher Merrill Kelly #29 of the Arizona Diamondbacks after Kelly was removed from the game during the seventh inning against the Colorado Rockies at Chase Field on March 29, 2024 in Phoenix, Arizona. MoreThat's why one insider foresees the Yankees acquiring a former All-Star starting pitcher with World Series experience. On Tuesday, Jim Bowden of The Athletic predicted that the Yankees would bring Arizona Diamondbacks starter Zac Gallen to New York ahead of the 6 p.m. ET Thursday deadline. "The Yankees solved their third-base situation with the trade for Ryan McMahon, then added infielder Amed Rosario, who provides versatility and a good bat versus lefties (.829 OPS)," wrote Bowden. "Now, they are focused on acquiring a starting pitcher and a reliever or two. They will not trade outfielder Spencer Jones or shortstop George Lombard Jr., but are open-minded about swapping their other top prospects in the right deal." Gallen, who turns 30 on Sunday, is a huge reason the Diamondbacks are surprise sellers at this deadline. He's got a brutal 5.60 ERA this season, in large part because he's given up a National League-high 23 home runs. Plus, Gallen is expensive, which might actually work in the Yankees' favor. He'd be owed the remainder of his $13.5 million salary by the acquiring team, though one figures most contenders are prepared to add a bit of payroll. The real question is whether or not the Yankees think the 2023 All-Star who shined in the World Series that year is still hidden among the peripheral stats.
