Atlanta Braves news and notes from Wednesday
As the losses pile up, the focus has turned to the trade deadline, prospects, and the offseason. This 2025 Braves team has more losses through 101 games than the really bad Braves teams in 2015 and 2017. This might give the team a unique opportunity to get a very high draft pick while still being considered major competitors. Meanwhile we focus on the trade deadline and see if the Braves can pick up any worthwhile prospects for their tradeable pieces.
