With all that’s happened in the first half of the 2021 season, it certainly feels like the writing is on the wall for the Atlanta Braves.
The idea of this Atlanta Braves team even considering being sellers at the trade deadline would have seemed crazy back in March/April.
A team with as much young talent as this team has — a season after being one win away from the World Series — no one could have predicted them being in this spot.
