The Braves swung a late-night trade, their second deal of the week, on Friday, acquiring veteran catcher Stephen Vogt from the Diamondbacks in exchange for first base prospect Mason Berne.
Vogt, 36, is perhaps most known for his strong leadership qualities and bubbly presence in the dugout, though he’s had a great career, going to two All-Star games and playing nine seasons in the big leagues despite debuting at the age of 27 and getting off to one of the worst offensive starts in the history of Major League Baseball, going 0 for 32 over parts of two seasons to begin his career.
