Since the signings of Brian McCann and Josh Donaldson, Braves’ fans have been starving for another major acquisition to improve the team. Combining Alex Anthopoulos flair for blockbuster trades and the Braves deep farm system, this offseason has been widely speculated to be a busy one for Atlanta. However, despite plenty of rumors and from outside sources, the past six weeks has been rather quiet for the Braves.
One reason for the lack of information is Anthopoulos well known desire to keep information close to the vest. The idea behind this tactic is the less other teams know of your intentions, the more leverage you potentially have in trade talks.
