Braves making aggressive push for Mike Clevinger, per report
David Richard-USA TODAY Sports THIS. STOVE. IS. HOT
In what has been a much more eventful day in terms of speculation and rumors than most expected, the 2020 Major League Baseball Trade Deadline is a return to some sort of normalcy that was needed. And after already completing one trade for Tommy Milone earlier today (initial reviews aside), it seems the Braves may not be done.
And this time, they seem to be focusing on a much grander scale.
Two executives believe the Braves are making an aggressive play for Clevinger, which would make sense given @BNightengale’s report that the Padres are no longer viewed as favorites.
