Ian Krol was traded to the Braves Friday in exchange for Cameron Maybin.

Krol was traded to the Braves on Friday.

Analysis:

Krol split time between Triple-A and the majors in 2015, working to a 2.30 ERA with 34 strikeouts in 31.1 innings in the minors but struggling to a 5.79 ERA with 17 walks in 28 innings in the big leagues. Sent south in the Cameron Maybin deal, the 24-year-old should serve as a left-handed option out of the Braves' bullpen in 2016.
