Remember when the Atlanta Braves started 0-7 and appeared headed for their worst season in nearly a decade?
We remember, even as the Braves do their best to make us forget.
Atlanta entered Sunday an impressive 12-7 in their last 19, clawing their way back up the NL East standings. Although the Braves trail the New York Mets by 6.5 games, Brian Snitker’s club is nonetheless fighting to ensure an eighth consecutive playoff berth.
Assuming the Braves plan on buying at the trade deadline, could they bring Pittsburgh Pirates lefty Andrew Heaney to Atlanta?
Heaney, who turns 34 in June, checks plenty of boxes for the Braves.
