Braves look to bolster rotation depth by acquiring right-hander Tyler Mahle from Giants  Toronto Star

The Giants’ firesale appears to be underway. San Fransiscio made its first move of the trade deadline by sending veteran starter Tyler Mahle to the Braves on Sunday night. Atlanta gave up right-handed pitcher Anthony Molina in return. The 31-year-old Mahle is 3-9 with a 5.13 ERA in 18 starts for the Giants this season,

It’s not the worst add, and getting Mahle from the Giants didn't cost any prospects, but surely the Braves have bigger targets on the radar.
