The Oakland Athletics have acquired right-handed reliever Cody Martin from the Braves for the 53rd overall international signing slot, which has a bonus allocation of $388,400.
The A’s have also designated Nate Freiman for assignment to make room for Martin.
Martin, 25, pitched 21 2/3 innings for the Braves, posting a 5.40 ERA and a 1.431 WHIP. This is a good move for both teams, as the Braves continue to rack up prospects and Oakland gets a most needed reliever.
