Braves Acquire Lefty Brad Hand From Rockies For Minor League Reliever

Braves traded minor league pitcher Alec Barger to the Rockies for veteran lefty reliever Brad Hand.
Hand brings experience and strikeouts but has struggled with walks and hard contact this season.
Barger is a promising minor league reliever but also has issues with walks.
The deal provides bullpen help for the Braves and continues the Rockies' rebuilding efforts.
Both teams received a grade of B- for the relatively minor trade.
