This one may have gone under the radar but the Atlanta Braves reportedly had checked in on San Francisco Giants’ star Buster Posey before the July trade deadline, according Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe.
[Buster] Posey is on the DL and facing hip surgery. It’s interesting that at the trade deadline there was some interest in him. The Braves had inquired and there was talk the Red Sox were also involved, but a team source denies that. The Red Sox had lost Christian Vazquez to a broken pinkie and their catching was thin.
