The Braves keep on trucking with the trades. Mark Bowman, the Braves beat writer, reports that they acquired Royce Ring from the Padres for Wil Ledezma and Will Startup.

This adds to the Braves acquisitions of Mark Teixeira, Ron Mahay and Octavio Dotel. Over the last couple days, the Braves have traded 6 prospects, one miserable starter and a guy who was designated for assignment. Not a bad exchange is it?

Ring had 17 K’s in 15 innings for San Diego this year with a 3.60 ERA.
