It's been eight years since the Braves were not buyers come trade deadline season.
Atlanta Braves find themselves in unfamiliar territory as we approach this year's trade deadline. For the last eight seasons, the Braves, being in playoff contention every year since 2018, have been perennial buyers towards the end of July.
In fact, in the last eight years, the only season where it would have been feasible to sell, Alex Anthopoulos and the front office decided to trade for four outfielders, leading to the franchise's first World Series victory in 26 years.
