Braves move Riley to LF where he's played before and they have an opening. Arenado goes into 3B. Helsley shares closing duties. For Cards, they move Arenado. They get a util/3B AAA prospect back and filler with Franklin, a guy with power but recent health issues. Jiminez is out for this year but is a reasonably priced RH reliever for 2026 (and his money going the other way keeps the Cards from having to send money for Arenado).
