Fantasy Impact
It’s not yet known what the return is, but with Baltimore out of contention they had no reason to hold onto the impending free agent. Brach won’t close in Atlanta, so the biggest fantasy impact from this deal is that Mychael Givens is now the presumed closer in Baltimore. Of course, he could get traded himself soon, but for now is an obvious pick up for fantasy teams needing saves.
