Starting off that series with Atlanta with a bang, huh?

It still makes sense for the team to be buyers. They aren’t going to sell their best trade pieces and the ones that would get traded wouldn’t make that much of a difference anyway. Going after a weak division would make more sense than squeezing out some teams’ 17th best prospect and hoping he becomes a reliever some day.

If they were to get a few bullpen pieces and/or a starter, they might be able to get close enough to the Mets to make some real noise in the division.
