Freddie Freeman, Dana Eveland, and the Braves' intentions at the trade deadline are the focus of today's news and links.
BRAVES NEWS
The Braves lost on Thursday, but it didn't come without some weird things happening. Julio Teheran hit Matt Kemp with a pitch in the first inning, and that sparked a benches-clearing discussion where the only violence came from an umpire executing a takedown on Matt Kemp. Later, the Braves had a 4-1 lead after a solid showing from Teheran, and naturally, that lead disappeared as soon as the bullpen came on the scene.
