Braves likely to be active at Trade Deadline
Nick Markakis tracks back to the wall and makes a great catch to take away a home run from Avisail GarciaTeheran stands as Coppolella's most attractive trade piece and arguably the best starting pitcher available before this year's Deadline. The 25-year-old right-hander, who is owed slightly more than an average of $9 million through the 2020 season, could net the big bat Atlanta needs. But the Braves are not in a position where they must immediately move Teheran, and they likely won't unless they get something similar to the package (Dansby Swanson, Ender Inciarte and Aaron Blair) they received for Shelby Miller in December.
