Braves acquire LoveLady for cash

[Tapate50]

Braves acquired LHP Richard Lovelady from the Royals for cash considerations; optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett.
The Royals were able to clear a 40-man roster spot in the process while the Braves get a useful bullpen arm to stash in Triple-A. Lovelady didn't pitch in the majors last season after Tommy John surgery, but he enjoyed a great spring.

Is this Cy's mom getting an official team role?

Might have been better with the abbreviated version of his first name included.

interesting grab. Seems like a buy low lottery ticket type move. Guy coming off TJ can sometimes throw harder.. Will be interesting to follow.

Fully expecting this to be a thread about Cy’s mom.

AA made this move because he knew this group would go wild having a guy named Dick Lovelady in the organization.

Well played AA!! Thank you for looking out for the fans.
