Nice article from ESPN that says the Braves should trade for Giants reliever Will Smith

I’m all in on Will Smith from Newnan, I believe. Must haves are a closer, & at least one quality starter. We have chips. Experienced ones and prospects.

Braves: 5 in a row and 8 out of last 9.

I swear I took a benedryl in the 6th inning. Needed to get groggy with an antihistamine(don’t drink so it’s an alternative). The Bullpen just scares me to death. To think FNS had a clean 9th is truly unbelievable.

Luke Jackson sort of reminds me of 1998 Braves reliever Kerry Ligtenberg who wound up being the Braves closer ever though it didn't seem like he was a closer. Hopefully,Your Friendly Neighborhood Sliderman will have a season like Kerry Ligtenberg had in 1998 when he had 30 saves.

If these prognostications are correct, we might have no choice with FNS closing all season:

It's going to be very hard to trade this season with so many teams contending for Wildcard spots in the National League

Buster Olney for ESPN tracker:

It would be like Christmas if the Braves traded for Zack Greinke however Marcus Stroman and Trevor Bauer would probably be more likely

I would take any of those 3 in a heartbeat. The only two people that are untouchable in a trade are Anderson and Pache imo.

The Brewers are crashing and burning and will be swept by the Braves in my opinion

I agree and I hope you are right, but didn't Bryse Wilson get torched in a minor league start last week ?

He was knocked around by the Charlotte Knights

Interesting article about the Braves interest in SF Giants closer Will Smith

I’d be very reluctant to give up Joey Wentz, as that article suggests, along with Tristan Beck. It’s a rental, we might be able to resign in the off-season if the purse can be pried open.
