Lane Thomas, Bailey Falter Dealt to Braves at Deadline
Kansas City sends outfielder Lane Thomas and lefty Bailey Falter to Atlanta in exchange for two minor league pitchers.
The Royals traded outfielder Lane Thomas and left-handed pitcher Bailey Falter to the Atlanta Braves just before the trade deadline. The return for Kansas City is minor league pitchers Carter Holton and Lucas Braun. Thomas, who has played all three outfield spots this season, is expected to slot into left field for Atlanta. Falter is headed to Triple-A Gwinnett and may provide depth for a depleted Braves pitching staff.
