The National League East has not been this competitive in a long time. Not since 2009 have three teams finished the season with winning records. The Braves, Nationals and Phillies are on pace to accomplish that feat this year.
Each team will be looking for upgrades before the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline. The Mets and Marlins will be looking to make moves to help them in the future.
Here is a look at a trade from each team's past, how it relates to its current roster and what it might mean for them in the final weeks leading up to the Trade Deadline:
Braves
The deal: The Braves traded Matt Kemp to the Dodgers for right-hander Brandon McCarthy, left-hander Scott Kazmir, utility man Charlie Culberson and first baseman
What it meant for this year's team: Atlanta cleared payroll and opened a spot for Ronald Acuna Jr.
