Braves acquire OF Joc Pederson from Cubs for prospect Bryce Ball
b"The Athletic's David O'Brien and former Braves relief pitcher, Eric O'Flaherty, react to the Atlanta Braves trading prospect Bryce Ball for Chicago Cubs outfielder, Joc Pederson. Pederson, presumably, will fill the void in Atlanta's outfield left by Ronald Acuna Jr.'s season-ending injury. How much production could Pederson supply to make up for Acuna's absence? Is this trade by Atlanta a sign the organization is all-in for a championship run? What's there to glean from this transaction in relation to Freddie Freeman's contract negotiation?\\xa0\\nLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices"
