Braves blockbuster trade suggestion would land rival's $56 million Cy Young winner

After an impossibly slow start, the Atlanta Braves have begun to look like the Atlanta Braves again.

The Braves started 0-7, but they're 10-7 since. The issue right now isn't so much their record, but the fact that their vaunted starting rotation has seemingly come undone in only three weeks since the season began.

Spencer Strider made only one start before returning to the injured list with a hamstring strain. Reynaldo López could be out much longer, perhaps until August or September. And defending Cy Young Award winner Chris Sale has struggled mightily.

At some point, it seems as though the Braves will need to supplement this rotation with one more arm.
