Braves Acquire Stephen Vogt From Diamondbacks

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Stephen Vogt has been traded to the Braves in exchange for infielder Mason Berne. Vogt is hitting .212/.307/.386 with five homers over 151 plate appearances. He'll get some playing time against right-handed pitching, but isn't a huge upgrade for the Braves. Berne is a solid contact hitter without much pop and has […]

[…]

Bulls Not Expected To Sign Daniel Theis
