Both of these trades address needs in the outfield. Presently, the Braves have Ehire Adrianza, Guillermo Heredia, Joc Pederson, and Orlando Arcia as their main outfielders. While each has contributed to the team this season, the group is sorely missing the bat and energy of Ronald Acuna Jr. Adding Duvall\u2019s powerful swing and Rosario\u2019s veteran presence could help towards filling that hole.<\/p>\n<h2>Atlanta Braves Trade for Eddie Rosario &amp; Adam Duvall<\/h2>\n<h3>Eddie Rosario<\/h3>\n<p>Rosario is hitting .254 on the season with seven home runs and 46 RBI. He has 72 hits and 15 doubles in 78 games. He\u2019s slugging .389 and getting on base at a .289 clip with a WAR of 0.4. His OPS+ is 84 and he\u2019s striking out over 15% of the time. However, he has put up decent power numbers in the past. Two years ago with the Minnesota Twins, he went deep 32 times with 109 RBI. He\u2019s also shown to hit for a respectable average. If he can find a small bit of his earlier power when he returns, this could be a good move for the Braves. It\u2019s simply a matter of reacquiring his stroke.<\/p>\n<h3>Adam Duvall<\/h3>\n<p>For Duvall, it\u2019s a bit of a reunion. He wore the Atlanta Braves uniform for the past two and a half seasons. This year, he\u2019s hitting .229 with a .277 on-base percentage. However, he\u2019s launched 22 homers, has 68 RBI, and is slugging .478. His OPS+ is 102 and his WAR is 2.0, the highest since his days with the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/category\/reds\/\" target=\"_self\">Cincinnati Reds<\/a>. In short, he could be a boost to an already powerful lineup. Freddie Freeman and Austin Riley have both shown their ability for the long ball this season. Having Duvall could help bring the team to an even higher level of power.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"6hjs6uFgSO1AbTRhn4P9jA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1327122516\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'6hjs6uFgSO1AbTRhn4P9jA',sig:'tB-bgYLIowpMI0sKy6rtuf0_felOb3MIDOiGuPvWqNg=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1327122516',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Players Mentioned:<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/d\/duvalad01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Adam Duvall<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=jacksal02,jackso002ale&amp;search=Alex+Jackson&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alex Jackson<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/s\/sandopa01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pablo Sandoval<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/r\/rosared01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Eddie Rosario<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/a\/adriaeh01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ehire Adrianza<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/h\/heredgu01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Guillermo Heredia<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/p\/pederjo01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Joc Pederson<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/a\/arciaor01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Orlando Arcia<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/a\/acunaro01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ronald Acu\u00f1a Jr.<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/f\/freemfr01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Freddie Freeman<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/r\/rileyau01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Austin Riley<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Atlanta Braves have acquired outfielder Adam Duvall from the Miami Marlins for minor league catcher Alex Jackson.
