The Atlanta Braves snapped a five-game losing streak by beating the Kansas City Royals on Monday, but that result alone likely won't impact the front office's plans at the trade deadline.
Atlanta is currently sitting in fourth place in the NL East at 45-60, which puts the club 12.0 games out of an NL Wild Card spot. With FanGraphs giving the Braves a mere 0.4% chance of making the playoffs – down from 93.4% in the preseason – they could very easily become sellers prior to 6 p.m. ET on Thursday.
ESPN's Buster Olney wrote Tuesday that it would be "interesting to see" if the San Diego Padres emerge as a possible landing spot for Braves designated hitter Marcell Ozuna.
