Braves general manager Frank Wren managed to upgrade his outfield mix and add depth to his bullpen by acquiring outfielder Rick Ankiel, right-handed reliever Kyle Farnsworth and cash considerations from the Royals just before Saturday's non-waiver Trade Deadline. n exchange for Ankiel and Farnsworth, the Royals will receive outfielder Gregor Blanco, right-handed reliever Jesse Chavez and Minor League left-handed reliever Tim Collins. The Braves had acquired Collins as part of the five-player trade they completed with the Blue Jays on July 14.
