[情報] Braves Acquire Dan Uggla
The Braves landed one of baseball's most powerful second basemen today,
acquiring Dan Uggla from the division rival Marlins for utility man Omar
Infante and lefty reliever Mike Dunn.
Uggla, 31 in March, had another fine season in 2010 with a .287/.369/.508
line in 674 plate appearances. Uggla is one season away from free agency,
and extension talks with the Marlins broke off after he rejected a four-year,
$48MM offer. Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports feels that the Braves will attempt
to sign him long-term. Martin Prado will step in at third base as Chipper
Jones recovers from knee surgery or log innings in left field if necessary,
tweets Rosenthal. Uggla should be happy to remain at second base.
Infante, a super-utility type, hit .321/.359/.416 in 506 plate appearances
for the Braves this year. He's under contract through 2011 at $2.5MM with
another possible $1MM in plate appearance incentives. The loss may put the
Braves in the market for a utility player, writes MLB.com's Mark Bowman.
Dunn, 26 in May, is a hard-throwing left-handed reliever who came to Atlanta
from the Yankees a year ago in the Javier Vazquez deal. Dunn racked up
big-time strikeout and walk numbers this year between Triple-A and the
Majors. The intra-division asking price for Uggla was expected to be large,
but this is a disappointing return for the Marlins. They have succeeded in
revamping their bullpen for the long-term, adding Ryan Webb, Edward Mujica,
Dustin Richardson, and Dunn in recent trades.
The Cardinals, Blue Jays, Nationals, and Tigers were other reported suitors
for Uggla.
ESPN's Jerry Crasnick broke news of the agreement on Twitter, and Ken
Rosenthal of FOX Sports and Mark Bowman of MLB.com provided updates as the
story developed.
