Braves Trade Rumors: Braves trade Jeff Francoeur in 3 team deal

Looks like Coppy is gonna keep wheeling and dealing as yet another veteran is headed out of town

One of the more puzzling things about the trade deadline from the Braves perspective was the lack of deals involving veterans on short term deals. With players like Jim Johnson, Jeff Francoeur, Erick Aybar, etc. on the roster...it was somewhat expected that the Braves would deal at least some of them for prospects, but the deadline came and they remained with the team.

However, never doubt that Coppy and the rest of the front office are always working towards the next deal as they have made multiple waiver wire deals since then including dealing Erick Aybar and Hunter Cervenka.
