Why Braves could acquire Rangers superstar in surprise blockbuster

With the Major League Baseball trade deadline fast approaching, the Atlanta Braves have an opportunity to make a statement to the rest of the league.

The Braves have a clear top three in their rotation with Chris Sale, Max Fried, and Reynaldo López all having great seasons. But in a seven-game playoff series, it's not entirely clear who the fourth and final starter would be.

40-year-old Charlie Morton has had an up-and-down season, while rookie Spencer Schwellenbach looks promising, but has a 5.68 ERA in his first six starts.

If Atlanta wants to avoid losing to the Philadelphia Phillies for a third year in a row, they need all the rotation help they can get.
