The moves continued general manager Alex Anthopoulos’ history of making big additions at the trade deadline. Three years ago, the Braves hadn’t been above .500 all season when Anthopoulos acquired Rosario from Cleveland, Soler from Kansas City and outfielder Joc Pederson from the Chicago Cubs at the deadline.that took the Braves all the way.
Three years ago, Soler was batting .192 with a .658 OPS for Kansas City when the Braves acquired him. He hit .269 with a .358 on-base percentage, .524 slugging percentage, 14 homers and 33 RBIs in 55 games with Atlanta.
