The Oakland Athletics have traded shortstop Nick Allen to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for pitching prospect Jared Johnson. Allen, who struggled offensively in the MLB, was a defensive asset but faced competition from top prospect Jacob Wilson.

Jared Johnson, a promising right-hander, had a solid season in High-A Rome and is expected to join the A's minor league system. This trade reflects the A's strategy to prioritize trades as they rebuild their roster.
