PHILADELPHIA -- Though Braves president of baseball operations John Hart admitted that he has continued to receive calls from teams interested in veteran catcher A.J. Pierzynski, he indicated that he is not actively attempting to complete another deal before the non-waiver Trade Deadline arrives today at 4 p.m. ET.
But given how active Hart, assistant general manager John Coppolella and their staff have been dating back to the offseason, it certainly would not be wise to dismiss the possibility that they could stir the trade market yet again by finding the value they would need to be persuaded to trade either Julio Teheran or Cameron Maybin.
