Royals reportedly trade Jorge Soler to Atlanta before deadline

According to Jeff Passan, the Atlanta Braves have reportedly acquired outfielder Jorge Soler in a trade with the Kansas City Royals.

What It Means:

Soler would help fill an enormous hole in Atlanta's lineup after Ronald Acuna went down for the season. Expect the righty slugger to see immediate at-bats in the middle of Atlanta's order.

According to Baseball Savant on 214 batted balls this season, Soler has produced a 13.6% barrel rate and a .232 expected average.
