The Atlanta Braves are leading the National League East. With the trade deadline closing in the team will be looking to improve.

Looking at the Atlanta Braves roster there is one obvious area to improve, the bullpen. The Braves bullpen struggles to hold leads or keep the Braves in ballgames. Adding a reliever would seem to be the Braves top priority.

If they don’t, it is hard to see the team continuing to be legitimate contenders barring the unexpected emergence of a solid late inning reliever.

With the trade deadline coming up we thought we would take a look at some of the Braves rumored targets.

Some would change the team completely while others would simply be complementary pieces to a team with a chance to win their division.

The Braves have been the surprise in the National League so far and will look to add at least one piece if they are still in contention in the next two weeks. Here are the Braves potential trade targets so far.
