Braves Trade Rumors: Braves trade Erick Aybar to the Detroit Tigers

Ladies and gentlemen, the end of an era is upon us...

...ok, not really...but the Braves did make another waiver deal today, this time involving one of the players who both was the most likely to be dealt coming in to the year and whose performance up until recently had made a deal basically impossible.

#Braves have traded INF Erick Aybar to the #Tigers for veteran INF/OF Mike Aviles and catcher Kade Scivicque.

Its no secret that for most of the first half of the 2016 season, Aybar was not only the worst shortstop in baseball.
