Starting Nine: Trade targets Braves should have their sights on

Filed under:

Switch-hitting Ian Happ could bring a .920 OPS vs. left-handers to the Braves, as well as defensive versatility. He has the ability to play all three outfield spots and has 67 games at second base.

The last week has certainly changed the focus for the Atlanta Braves ahead of the Aug. 2 trade deadline. Have this conversation days ago, and a bullpen upgrade seemed the most likely route.
