PHILADELPHIA -- Given how many moves they have made dating back to the end of last season, it was assumed the Braves would at least get their fix by making more before Friday's non-waiver Trade Deadline passed.
But as Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez prepared for Friday night's game against the Phillies, he experienced the oddity of having a roster that was essentially the same as it had been on Thursday night. None of his veterans had been traded and the roster alteration came via the addition of Williams Perez, who came off the disabled list to fill the rotation spot previously held by the recently-traded Alex Wood.
