We all know that the Atlanta Braves could use some relief help at the trade deadline
If it was not apparent yet that the Atlanta Braves need help in their relief mix, it was on full display on June 27th. The Atlanta Braves just blew another lead in the 7th inning, and it was versus the New York Mets, who currently lead the division.
It is safe to say, that if the Atlanta Braves want a chance to win, they need more than just relief depth. They need a high leverage, top tier, closer type pitcher. They need a guy like Richard Rodriguez of the Pittsburg Pirates.
