It’s that time of the year for baseball fans, the trade deadline. For Braves Country, it’s going to be especially interesting because there are so many different directions Alex Anthopoulos can go. Most expect Atlanta’s GM to add at least one outfielder, but I wouldn’t rule out multiple acquisitions in that area. The shortstop position
The Hawks have been shopping Clint Capela. The Bulls, Pelicans, Grizzlies, and Wizards had reported interest in a trade for the veteran center, and we can add another club to that list — the Knicks. According to Ian Begley, New York checked in with Atlanta on a potential trade for Capela. “Clint Capela, Atlanta, was
During the All-Star break, the Braves made a roster move, outrighting Brian Anderson to Triple-A Gwinnett, leaving many to speculate what the corresponding move would be. Today, the club announced they’ve reinstated outfielder Ramon Leaureano from the injured list. The #Braves today reinstated OF Ramón Laureano from the injured list. — Atlanta Braves (@Braves) July
Terry Fontenot has had a lot of success in free agency, but his track record in the draft is inconsistent at best. The Falcons GM’s biggest blunder at this point is Jalen Mayfield.

That will be a massive boost, and the trade deadline also offers an opportunity for the Braves to better themselves, just like
The Falcons most important offseason acquisition was Kirk Cousins, who inked a $180 million free agent deal to leave the Vikings for Atlanta. Minnesota ended up replacing the veteran by way of Sam Darnold and J.J. McCarthy. The biggest loser in this entire situation may be Justin Jefferson, who won Offensive Player of the Year
The Falcons report to training camp next week, but there’s still a glaring hole on the roster that needs to be filled. Defensively, Raheem Morris is relying on a lot of young, unproven players. Many would point to the edge unit as the one I’m referring to, and you’d have a case, but the cornerback
The MLB Draft is over, and the Braves focused on pitching in the first half and position players in the second half.
