Braves get Kinley from Rockies for minor leaguer

The Atlanta Braves have acquired veteran reliever Tyler Kinley from the Colorado Rockies in exchange for minor league pitcher Austin Smith. The trade was completed a day before the non-waiver trade deadline. Kinley, a right-handed pitcher, has been a member of the Rockies' bullpen since 2021. The Braves, who are currently leading the NL East division, are looking to bolster their bullpen as they push for a playoff berth. The Rockies, on the other hand, are likely looking to offload some of their veteran assets as they focus on rebuilding. The trade is seen as a move by the Braves to strengthen their pitching staff and improve their chances of reaching the postseason.
