The Atlanta Braves acquire catcher Joey Bart from the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for right-handed pitcher Hunter Stratton. Multiple reports describe the deal as a move to add catching depth for Atlanta, with Bart joining the organization as a catcher option on the club’s 40-man roster. One report states the Braves make roster space by designating catcher Sandy León for assignment. For Pittsburgh, the trade brings Stratton to the organization, and one account says he is assigned to Triple-A Indianapolis. Bart is described across outlets as a former high draft pick and a catcher returning to Georgia, where he is from. The Braves’ acquisition is framed as providing additional backup and depth behind the plate as the team continues its postseason push, while the Pirates’ side focuses on acquiring a pitcher and reassigning him to the minors. The trade therefore centers on exchanging a catcher with major-league experience for a relief/pitching prospect, with each team adjusting its roster accordingly.
