Baseball Trade Values assessments at the time of these moves.
Jorge Soler
The #Braves have acquired OF Jorge Soler (-$0.2M median trade value) from the #Royals in exchange for RHP Kasey Kalich ($0.8M).

Deal is accepted by our model.

Eddie Rosario
The #Braves have acquired OF Eddie Rosario ($1.9M median trade value) and cash (unknown) from the #Guardians in exchange for IF Pablo Sandoval (-$0.2M).

Before the cash, this is a minor underpay by Atlanta. Looks like a pure salary dump by Cleveland.

Adam Duvall
The #Braves have acquired OF Adam Duvall ($3.6M median trade value) from the #Marlins in exchange for C Alex Jackson ($1.7M).

The deal is accepted by our model.

Joc Pederson
The #Braves acquisition of OF Joc Pederson ($2.5M median trade value) from the #Cubs in exchange for 1B prospect Bryce Ball ($4.9M) is accepted by our model as a minor overpay by Atlanta.

Ball has had a disappointing season as a 23-year-old in High-A, so adjusting for his performance brings this deal even closer.

(For what it's worth, our back-end numbers had Ball adjusted down to $3.0M, but it accidentally wasn't pushed through to the site)
