Inbox: Will Braves revisit Deadline negotiations?
Do you have any details on trade offers that were being circulated that we have not heard about?
-- @adamj2281
Braves executive vice president Alex Anthopoulos kept tabs on Chris Archer to see if the Rays' cost ever dropped to Atlanta's comfort zone. But the star player Anthopoulos pursued was Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto, who remains coveted by a number of teams, including the Nationals.
The Braves expressed interest in Realmuto last offseason and again as recently as the hours leading up to last week's non-waiver Trade Deadline. Though the two parties have not been able to strike a deal, expect the Marlins backstop to be at the top of Atlanta's wish list in the coming offseason.
