Deadline additions bring some much needed depth to Atlanta’s bullpen

The Atlanta Braves made some significant additions to their bullpen before Wednesday’s trade deadline adding Shane Greene, Chris Martin and Mark Melancon to the mix. The additions come not a moment too soon as Atlanta’s current bullpen makeup has seen increased struggles of late.

The additions of Greene, Martin and Melancon give the Braves three relievers that are capable of pitching at the end of games. Atlanta hasn’t announced who will be the team’s closer but it seems likely that Greene would get the first shot considering his success in Detroit.
