Pretty crazy this guy was traded to Yankees for 3 pitching prospects and couldn't even figure out how to bat in the same lineup as Soto and Judge.

Looks like the Kelenic experiment is nearing its end.

Hard to believe the Braves didn't have some prospect that would be a better option than Verdugo, they seem to always have somebody

Actually, the run of the last several years was mostly due to trades. While they were mostly great trades, they depleted the farm over time. A couple years ago, Braves were rated last for prospect pool. They're getting better, but still nowhere near where they used to be.
