Morris was traded to the Braves on Wednesday in exchange for Kelly Johnson, ESPN's Adam Rubin reports.
The Braves continued to sell off their veteran pieces in exchange for young prospects Wednesday with the acquisition of Morris from the Mets. Morris, a 23-year-old right-hander, has been working as a reliever at Double-A Binghamton this season. His production has been average through 22 appearances, notching a 4.62 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP in the Eastern League. He does possess strikeout upside, however, as evidenced by his 12.8 K/9 mark over 25.1 innings on the year. Morris will likely be assigned to either Triple-A Gwinnett or Double-A Mississippi.
