Braves trade for Nate McLouth

According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Pittsburgh Pirates have traded Nate McLouth to the Atlanta Braves.

The Braves top pitching prospect, Tommy Hanson, is said to not be involved with the deal.  Hanson has been promoted to the major leagues, though.

Jon Heyman reports that Gorkys Hernandez, Charlie Morton and Jeff Locke are heading to the Pirates.

Good news for the Mets: Don’t have to face McLouth tomorrow.

Bad news for the Mets: He’s an Atlanta Brave now.
