The Atlanta Braves are expected to be buyers at the upcoming Trade Deadline. Though making a move is important it is even more important that the team avoids any deals that would damage their team chemistry.

To say that this Atlanta Braves roster is special might be an understatement. The team consistently plays together with infectious energy and an ability to come back no matter the score or inning.

While the team does need to add at least a reliever it is vital they avoid damaging their team’s chemistry.

The results on the field shows just how much this team enjoys playing together. With this in mind, Atlanta must be very careful who they choose to add to their roster.

Atlanta is expected to be looking for pitching primarily considering the depth their lineup has shown so far this season. It would be unexpected for the team to chase any hitters.

Still, the pitchers and contract the Braves choose to take on must be considered carefully. Here are five players the Braves should avoid at the trade deadline.
