The Atlanta Braves are currently 27-33, 11 games behind the New York Mets for first place in the National League East.
Atlanta sits six games back from the third NL wild card spot. While the club doesn’t appear to be contenders, the Braves have been here before.
In two of the last four seasons, Atlanta was under .500 at this point in the season and made it to the playoffs. One of these postseason runs resulted in a World Series championship.
Major League Baseball insider Jon Heyman weighed in on the possibility of the Braves becoming sellers at this season’s trade deadline.
