Overview

  • Atlanta acquired Bido from the Athletics and Molina from the Rockies and designated left-hander Josh Walker to clear 40-man space, the team announced.
  • Osvaldo Bido, 30, posted a 5.87 ERA over 79.2 innings in 2025 after delivering a 3.41 ERA across 63.1 innings in 2024 for Oakland.
  • Anthony Molina, 23, recorded a 7.27 ERA in 34.2 innings for Colorado in 2025, and coverage notes his results could improve away from Denver’s altitude.
  • The transactions continue Atlanta’s waiver-driven roster churn after an injury-hit 2025 in which the club used a franchise-record 46 pitchers.
  • Reporting also indicates the Braves agreed to a minor-league deal with outfielder Ben Gamel.
