As the second half gets underway for the Atlanta Braves expect the rumor mill to kick into high gear with the trade deadline just a little over two weeks away. The thought heading into the deadline is that the Braves will be kicking the tires on potential upgrades for the starting rotation and possibly the bullpen.
Given Alex Anthopoulos’ track record since joining the Braves front office, expect him to kick the tires on nearly everyone. Just something to keep in mind as these reports start to come out.
The latest of which involves Tigers left-hander Matthew Boyd.
