The idea that the Atlanta Braves could go after the Dodgers’ Joc Pederson had actually crossed our minds in the past couple of months. In fact, he’s been mentioned 3 times: here, here, and most recently here.
But the underlying stories have never involved any kind of strong possibility.
- There’s been the idea of ‘helping’ the Dodgers move payroll (supposedly settled with the trade of Matt Kemp and Yasiel Puig to Cincinnati).
- There’s been thoughts of just throwing his name in a group of ‘other possibilities’
- But there’s been thoughts that Pederson might not even be a fit for the Atlanta club.
