Atlanta Braves Five Trade Deadline Targets
By Kit Anderson
The Atlanta Braves are expected to be active in the upcoming trade deadline. Who are some players the Braves could look to target?
Looking at the Atlanta Braves roster it is obvious the positions they need to address. If Austin Riley doesn’t prove himself ready in Triple-A in the next month third base could be one area of need.
Johan Camargo has played at the hot corner since the Braves released Jose Bautista. He has been above average but the Braves could still look to upgrade.
Watching the bullpen pitch over the last month it has become obvious the Braves could use at least one bullpen arm as well.
The bullpen has been leaky and could use a reliable veteran capable of getting reliable outs. Another closing option would be great if the Braves can find an affordable late-inning option.
Sean Newcomb and Mike Foltynewicz have combined for a great 1-2 punch in the Atlanta rotation but adding another reliable arm could be an option if the team find a young and controllable starter.
With that in mind, here are five players the Braves should consider targeting.
