Sources - Atlanta Braves acquire slugging 1B Matt Olson from Oakland Athletics
The Atlanta Braves and Oakland Athletics are in agreement on a trade that will send star first baseman Matt Olson to Atlanta, sources familiar with the deal told ESPN's Jeff Passan.
In return, the A's will get outfielder Cristian Pache, catcher Shea Langeliers and pitchers Ryan Cusick and Joey Estes, sources said.
Olson, a first-time All-Star last season, hit 39 homers and drove in 111 runs with a slash line of .271/.371/.911 to lead Oakland in all major hitting categories.
After acquiring Olson, an Atlanta native, it seems unlikely the Braves will re-sign free-agent first baseman Freddie Freeman.
