Braves predicted to cut ties with $73 million Gold Glover in surprise Giants trade

As the Atlanta Braves get set for the final two weeks of July, they have huge decisions to make.

The trade deadline is approaching, and the Braves, for the first time in a decade, have to contemplate selling. That could just mean getting rid of expiring veterans like Marcell Ozuna and Raisel Iglesias, but it could also mean unloading some long-term salary.

Catcher Sean Murphy has to at least be considered for a move. Every game, either Murphy or rookie backstop Drake Baldwin has to be on the bench, even though both are well above average hitters.
