ATLANTA (AP) - The Braves swapped left-handed relievers with Detroit on Wednesday, sending Macay McBride to the Tigers for Wilfredo Ledezma. If nothing else, the deal was convenient. Ledezma will fly to Atlanta with his former team, which opens a three-game series against the Braves on Friday. McBride will hang out in his native Georgia until his new club arrives.
"It will make the transition easier," McBride said. "I just have to walk over there" to the visiting clubhouse.
Ledezma is 3-1 with a 4.79 ERA in 23 games out of the bullpen this year. The 26-year-old went 15-18 with a 5.15 ERA in 33 starts and 73 relief appearances during five seasons with the Tigers.
