It’s an extremely busy time of the year for the Atlanta Braves and all the rest of major league baseball. Major decisions on many fronts.
If you’re waiting for teams to start engaging in major trades, note that your Atlanta Braves and the rest of MLB will be distracted for the next few days.
The distractions? The Draft and the All-Star break.
Generally speaking, not much other business will be conducted until at least Wednesday once the game is over, but it will be so much more so as the draft is happening during the same week — for the first time.
