Braves general manager Frank Wren says that the team will trade reliever Rafael Soriano before Opening Day.
Soriano made a surprising decision to accept Atlanta's arbitration offer late Monday night. The Braves hoped to get a compensatory pick when Soriano signed with another team.
"It hasn't affected what we're going to do," Wren said. "I think there's a good market [to trade Soriano], which was reinforced with our conversations today. We met with a lot of clubs that have interest in our bullpen."
