ATLANTA -- The Braves have acquired All-Star outfielder Nate McLouth from the Pirates in exchange for three highly regarded Minor League prospects.
The clubs announced that the Pirates will send McLouth to the Braves in exchange for right-handed pitcher Charlie Morton, left-handed pitcher Jeff Locke and outfielder Gorkys Hernandez.
McLouth, who is hitting .256 with nine homers and a .470 slugging percentage this year, will likely serve as the Braves' everyday center fielder. The 26-year-old outfielder hit .276 with 26 homers and 94 RBIs last year.
