Mark Melancon Dealt To Braves
5 years agoThe Atlanta Braves acquired relief pitcher Mark Melancon from the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday in exchange for pitchers Tristan Beck and Dan Winkler. The Braves made some much-needed upgrades to their bullpen on Wednesday with Melancon and Shane Greene, who should supplant Luke Jackson as the new ninth-inning man the rest of the way. Melancon has a 3.50 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, one save and 44 K's in 46 1/3 innings this year for San Fran. He figures to only be a setup man in his new home and won't have much fantasy appeal in any league.
