The Atlanta Braves placed All-Star third baseman Austin Riley on the injured list this weekend, the latest blow for a team that has fallen well short of expectations this season. Sitting well below the .500 mark as the MLB trade deadline nears, Atlanta has informed buyers of its approach to being sellers this summer.
According to Fansided‘s MLB reporter Robert Murray, the Braves will not listen to trade inquiries on any player on their roster who is under team control for multiple seasons. As a result, this gives them a very small pool of potential trade candidates in late July.
