The San Francisco Giants have traded pitcher Tyler Mahle to the Atlanta Braves for right-hander Anthony Molina as part of a pre-deadline move. Mahle, who has struggled this season with a 3-9 record and a 5.13 ERA, joins a Braves team leading the NL East. The Giants, with the third-worst record in the NL, are looking toward the future as they send Mahle, signed for $10 million, to Atlanta. Molina, 24, has made limited appearances in the majors and will continue his development with the Giants at Triple-A. This trade comes as the Giants are expected to make further moves as they disengage from postseason contention.
