Matt Adams is only three games into his Atlanta Braves tenure. We know his everyday presence will be short-lived. However, at this particular moment in time, I see no reason to move him at the deadline. But are they on borrowed time with Adams?
Days after the Braves world stopped rotating on its axis, GM genius John Coppolella made the trade to get Adams. Prior to that, James Loney was working out some kinks in AAA Gwinnett.
My theory for the Loney sign: Leverage. The Braves tried to get Adams many times over, but the ask was never worth it for Coppy.
