The Braves and the Astros will be in two different situations at the beginning of the 2016 season. The Braves will be looking to keep rebuilding and hope for a better future. While the Astros will be looking to contend for an American League Championship. The Braves are using the “Astros” method of success. The method of stripping the whole team apart via trades. They have traded Andrelton Simmons, Shelby Miller, Cameron Maybin and others to obtain talent. The Braves are eventually hoping to become the 2015 Houston Astros.
