There are indications that the Atlanta Braves have ramped up the pace of trade discussions over the past week or so.
That alone makes good sense – and as Fred told us yesterday, comments from Alex Anthopoulos are essentially saying that he will add support for the Braves before the non-waiver trade deadline hits at the end of the month, so sure: now is the time to get busy.
We have suggested in the past that while at the helm of the Toronto Blue Jays, Anthopoulos wasn’t afraid of pulling the trigger on a ‘big’ deal, and if current rumors are true, he might very well be employing that same playbook again.
