Braves reportedly were going to send Spencer Strider to Texas for Jacob deGrom
According to MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand, Strider would’ve been a Texas Rangers pitcher if the Braves got deGrom in a trade
The Atlanta Braves and Texas Rangers were on the verge of finalizing a deal that would have seen Jacob deGrom join the Braves, according to reports. However, the trade fell through when deGrom invoked his no-trade clause, keeping him in Texas. The Braves reportedly had Spencer Strider in mind as a potential trade asset, according to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com.
Feinsand shared details of the trade that didn't go through, noting that the Braves discussed sending Strider to Texas in exchange for deGrom before the trade deadline. While the Braves are hopeful that Strider could contribute in the postseason, they are also exploring other options, including finding a suitors who might be willing to return one of their farm system prospects.
The trade situation highlights the Braves' shifting perspective on Strider's value, given his recent struggles with injuries and inconsistent performances.
