There’s been a lot of discussion lately in these parts and elsewhere on the interwebs about improving the current Braves’ roster through a trade or trades. That’s what happens when you find yourself in first place in mid to late June. When teams are in this position–certainly unexpected and unfamiliar territory for Braves fans lately—they inevitably explore what it will take to remain on top the rest of the way.
I’m not smart enough to advise AA regarding whom to trade for whom. What I do know is that there is a lot of risk in these types of trades.
