Could We See Another Atlanta Braves-A's Swap at the MLB Trade Deadline?

The Atlanta Braves are dealing with a number of injuries yet again this season, currently lacking Chris Sale and Reynaldo Lopez, who are on the 60-day IL, along with Spencer Schwellenbach, who is on the 15-day. In addition, they're set to be without AJ Smith-Shawver for much of next year after the 22-year-old needed Tommy John surgery last month.

The Athletics have been a familiar trade partner for the Braves in recent years, and if we're being honest, Atlanta has done very well for themselves in both deals. They gave up Shea Langeliers in the Matt Olson swap, and he has turned out to be a solid backstop, but that's a trade they'd likely make again.
