Nov. 4—We've never seen anything like what the Atlanta Braves accomplished at the trade deadline this season.
On the morning of July 30 the Braves stood at 51-53. The team had been scuffling all season and had recently lost MVP caliber outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. to a season-ending knee injury. Atlanta was in third place and five games behind the New York Mets in the NL East standings.
Instead, the Braves invested in the club and received a championship return.
