With the MLB Trade Deadline inching closer as the month of June dwindles down, the Atlanta Braves are one of the few teams that will look into making trades to improve their roster as they set out to make the playoffs for the seventh consecutive season.
As of this writing, the Braves aren't in their usual spot at this point in the season as they have been in seasons past. They're in second place in the National League East behind the Philadelphia Phillies, who hold an eight-game lead in the division. But Atlanta does hold a sizeable lead for the top Wild Card spot in the National League at 4.
