The Atlanta Braves may really feel like they are standing on a street corner, begging for somebody to make a deal with them for a bullpen reliever right now.
It’s still too early for most teams to be willing to make deals, though for our Atlanta Braves, it’s already getting late in the process.
The Braves really need some pitchers that can consistently get outs in relief for them, but there’s a problem: clubs are either not ready to make a deal or not ready to raise the white flags on their own seasons yet.
