The Atlanta Braves have been much better since the first week of April passed, but they haven't fully escaped trade speculation purgatory just yet.
It comes with the territory in Major League Baseball. Fans and analysts are starving for a downfall, and after the Braves started 0-7, they were a very easy target. "What's wrong with the Braves?" was closely followed by "who could the Braves sell off?"
Now that they've won 14 of their last 23 games, the Braves have quieted the concerns of those who watch the team day in and day out. But there are still some who believe the trade deadline firesale could happen if things take another downturn.
