Wrigley Field was unkind to the Braves on Saturday, as Huascar Ynoa and the Atlanta staff were hammered by the Cubs offense. Having three starters on the IL, plus two prominent bullpen arms, leaves the Braves with precious little depth on the staff. Could the current situation lead Atlanta to make a trade this early in the season?
Most likely, GM Alex Anthopoulos will prefer to wait until later in the season before looking to make a trade. This would allow the front office to make a better determination of whether the club will contend in 2021.
