With the Aug. 3 trade deadline approaching, Lindsay Crosby weighs the Braves’ most realistic paths to improve, focusing on adding an outfield bat and/or starting pitching help amid offensive regression and rotation injuries, and discusses potential targets like Taylor Ward, Lars Nootbaar, Jarren Duran, Sonny Gray and Casey Mize. He then critiques MLB owners’ “cornerstone player” free agency proposal—liking the retention goal but opposing max-contract restrictions—arguing incentives would work better. The episode closes with a preview of the Braves’ late-night series in San Francisco, including likely Giants starters and key hitters, and Atlanta’s bullpen-game plan.
