Report: Braves checked in on Zach Britton, other relievers

The Braves have checked in on Orioles reliever Zach Britton and are searching far and wide for relief help, according to ESPN’s Jerry Crasnick. It remains to be seen if Alex Anthopoulos will dip into his wealth of prospects, though.

Britton, 30, is in the final year of his contract and is owed roughly $5 million through the end of 2018. He hasn't been as good this season as in past ones with a 3.68 ERA and 4.30 FIP (he’s walking a ton of batters, too) although he may still be shaking off some rust after rupturing his Achilles during the offseason and missing the first three months.
