Braves boost bullpen, acquire Shane Greene from Tigers

The Atlanta Braves acquired reliever Shane Greene from the Detroit Tigers for left-hand prospect Joey Wentz and infield/outfield prospect Travis Demeritte.

What It Means:

Greene is easily having the best year of his career and figures to take over as the Braves' closer for the rest of the season.

Greene owns a 1.18 ERA with 43 strikeouts and 12 walks over 38 innings (38 games) this season. He's also converted 22-of-25 save chances.
