BRAVES NEWS
Braves beat writer Mark Bowman indicated on Monday in his weekly Inbox installment that the club pursued Marlins catcher JT Realmuto at the Trade Deadline. These negotiations are a continuation of the efforts made by Atlanta this past offseason to acquire Realmuto, and it appears that GM Alex Anthopoulos is approaching the upcoming void at catcher with some urgency. Current catchers Tyler Flowers and Kurt Suzuki are set to be free agents at the end of this season, while Realmuto has two more arbitration-eligible seasons beyond this year.
