@scottcoleman55 Just like free agency and it never actually happens haha

Braves are connected to virtually everyone at the top of this list. Still think we are a month or so away from any real trade movement happening
Jeff Passan@JeffPassan
Free at ESPN: The top 100 trade candidates before the Aug. 3 deadline -- with the likelihood they move and potential landing spots. @kileymcd and I will be updating this list periodically as the deadline approaches to reflect teams' evolving statuses. espn.com/mlb/story/_/id…

@BeaneaterB And making sure to destroy the value of potential trade chips in the process.

The Atlanta Braves have not scored a run in 11 innings.

The Atlanta Braves have not scored a run in 9 innings.

@mlbbowman I’d almost bet we don’t even get 1. He does this every year doesn’t address the rotation and then at deadline says prices are too high and then we go send out elder to go get whacked around. AA is happy to make the playoffs and doesn’t care what happens once they get there
English

@StatsSAC @RileyDaGoat_ He hit .222 with a .700 ops in the playoffs and the guardians got boat raced by the Yanks because they could score enough….kind of proving my point that you can’t make minor moves and expect to contend with the big dawgs every year.

Lane Thomas has produced
131 wRC+
.196 ISO
.845 OPS
.288 AVG
.360 OBP
In his career vs LHP
Less power this year, but he also has a 17.5% walk rate vs LHP in 2026
He’s a good hitter vs lefties, and Braves have good track record of helping vet hitters normalize production

@StatsSAC Lane Thomas is slugging 338 against lefties this year
English

@BeaneaterB Ultimately just depends on how much they really want to unload. Chris Sale not getting any younger haha
English

@baseball_1092 I think we need one big RHB but another would be ideal. You could talk me into another LH DH type but I don’t think they’ll be better than Dom.
English

I don’t think the Braves need a ton at the deadline.
They have to have at least one postseason capable SP.
They have to have a lefty masher who can hit behind Olson.
Another innings eater type starter would really help as well but is not a necessity.
You have what it takes to win a WS if Alex and Terry go all in on these two things.
English

@BeaneaterB This is more so another bat if Riley doesn’t get going. Gonna be tough if he stays at his pace, HSK, Dom, and Yaz if he’s struggling.
English

@baseball_1092 Dom hasn’t regressed as much as people seem to believe. He was very solid again in May, more along what he’s done in his career recently.
June has been pretty bad though.
English

@BeaneaterB Dom smith has fallen off a cliff. Riley just sucks, man we need Baldwin back.
English

@scottcoleman55 Braves gonna end up sending Sale, Elder, Perez out in the playoffs, AA won’t go get a starter and we will be punched out first round and offseason will come and still won’t get a starter. It’s been a problem for 3 years now and he refuses to spend money on it.
English

@grantmcauley If only we had all off season to address this issue….I’m sure deadline will come and they will say oh prices were too high we didn’t want to force a deal. Get ready for Grant Holmes starting in elimination games….same things Elder did for years. They don’t learn…
English

#Braves Grant Holmes' opponents based on times through the lineup:
1st time: .181/.265/.276 (117 PA)
2 HR - 24.7 K% - 9.4 BB%
2nd time: .317/.391/.663 (115 PA)
10 HR - 17.3 K% - 10.4 BB%
3rd time: .170/.264/.255 (52 PA)
1 HR - 16.9 K% - 11.3 BB%
4th time: 1/2, 1 K, 0 HR
English

@BeaneaterB @VinnysCorner1 Man this was my first name too haha. Good times
English

@BeaneaterB At some point you gotta be aggressive and make moves and not worry about your shortstop 6 years from now. If he’s not willing to do that, just tell the fans your happy with a playoff appearance and being destroyed first round
English

The Braves need a postseason caliber SP2. If we know that, then Alex knows that. If we go get one and then Schwelly makes it back that’s fantastic. But we can’t take that risk.
Names I’d like to see them target.
Logan Webb
Kevin Gausman
Reid Detmers
Joe Ryan
Michael Soroka
Jose Soriano
Mackenzie Gore
Nathan Eovaldi
Seth Lugo
Michael Wacha
Bailey Ober

@ShortStopBall Lot of hard hit balls too. Not thrilled about being a #2
English

I don’t think Houston would actually trade him
But if they did
I would say goodbye to every prospect to get Yordan for 2.5 years and 3 postseasons

Yordan Alvarez GRAND SLAM Leads MLB with 1.092 OPS this season.
