Brewers trade:2B/3B/OF: Josh Harrison - 2,000,000 (2022) Braves trade:SS/3B: Eugenio Suarez - 24,000,000 (2023) RHP Victor Vodnik - Braves prospect 2.6 2022 FYPD (ATL) 1.6 2021 Dispersal (ATL) How acquired:
Harrison - Free Agent signing by Brewers in 2021 bigs.freeforums.net/thread/5808/josh-harrison-000-2022-brewersSuarez - Acquired via 2021 trade with Diamondbacks bigs.freeforums.net/thread/6301/braves-diamondbacks-approved-3Vodnik - Drafted by Atlanta in 2018, 14th Round www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=vodnik000vicPer Trade Block post, Braves shedding salary before free agency and I have room and a need for more infield offense. I believe Suarez has more left in the tank and am happy to gamble on his track record. That, coupled with Kieboom’s sputtering MLB stints, I have cause for concern at 3B. Acquiring two picks and a probable RP prospect to offset Suarez risk and eating almost a quarter of team budget. Harrison sent in return; a more than serviceable multi-position safety net for playoff-minded team.

Braves accept.
Brewer's explanation here sums things up quite nicely. As I've examined my roster, I just don't think that I can reasonably expect to make the playoff push I'm expecting with Suarez occupying such a massive part of my cap (along with my other salary obligations).
This frees up some room for me to try and make some reasonable FA acquisitions and gives me a solid depth piece in Harrison who should give me a couple decent at bats this season.
Thanks for the deal! I honestly hope that I end up regretting this and that Suarez comes back and has a great season. Baseball is more fun when stars play like it.

Mostly a cap dump but Harrison is still a very useful player.
