Braves acquired INF Osvaldo Martinez from the Dodgers.
No word yet on what the Dodgers will receive in return. Martinez will report to Triple-A Gwinnett and function as infield depth for the Braves.

I see that his nickname is "Ozzie." Wow!

Uggla and BJ please.
So what does Gwinnett do to clear a roster spot? Demote someone? Promote ... an infielder?

Gosselin time! The anger here would be epic. Please let this happen.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Gosselin in Atlanta at some point this season, but I doubt he'd be a guy they'd bring up and insert as the starting 2B. If they wanted to swap out Pastornicky for a couple of weeks so that he could be some regular ABs, Gosselin would be a logical choice to replace him. But other than that, I don't know where he'd fit.
But the furor would be epic!
Gosselin is pretty deserving of a call-up. He and La Stella both have pronounced conventional splits. I'm more of a fan of platoons than most around here and think a Gosselin/La Stella platoon would work pretty well.
I would take Gosselin and Stella! over Uggla and ______.
Pastor still has options? Maybe he gets demoted or DL'd "retroactively".

Seriously, how DO they find a Gwinnett roster spot?
This seals it. Just threw a twomp down on the Braves winning it all.
Ozzie has been playing short and third in Chattanooga all season, but the Dodgers have moved up a $25 mil. Cuban signee to play short and moved him to a utlity role. He's been in the majors with the Marlins and definitely has a major league glove. Just another versatile veteran, glad to see him out of Double-A, where he definitely did not belong. Like everyone else, I look forward to the corresponding move(s).
