The Atlanta Braves are likely to be buyers at the upcoming trade deadline. With that in mind, who are some players, the Braves could move on from to create roster space?

Looking at the current construction of the Atlanta Braves’ roster it isn’t hard to surmise they will be buyers at the trade deadline. If the team is indeed looking to add a piece or two other players will have to be moved to create roster space.

While it may seem a bit early to speculate there are plenty of players on the Braves current roster we wouldn’t mind seeing them move.

Obviously young up-and-coming rookies and star players like Freddie Freeman are off limits. Though there will be some clamor for the Braves to trade Julio Teheran that move makes little sense either.

Sticking with the chemistry of their roster the Braves should only make minor moves that wouldn’t upset this team’s bond.
