The Atlanta Braves signed utility player Mauricio Dubon from the Houston Astros on Wednesday in exchange for shortstop Nick Allen.
The two-time Golden Glove will join the Braves on a one-year, $6.1 million contract.
Allen will join the Texas ball club after spending one year in Atlanta. The shortstop played 135 games during the 2025 campaign, where he recorded a career-high number of hits (82).
Dubon spent the last four seasons with the Astros, helping the team win the 2022 World Series. Last season, the 31-year-old hit seven home runs and batted 0.241. He won his first Golden Glove in 2023 and claimed his second last season.
