I read this morning that the Rockies might be interested in trading Arenado if they fall further back in the west. I would trade for him in a heartbeat. Imagine a 2-3-4-5 of Albies, Freeman, Arenado, and Markakis. As the deadline gets closer, I want the Braves to use their bounty of prospects to either get Arenado or DeGrom. Both are controllable through 2020 and either one makes us a World Series contender for the next few years. Even if it takes 4 or 5 prospects to get one of them, our farm system would still be loaded and probably still be top 5 in baseball. The only guys that are off limits to me are Soroka, Allard/Touisant (I just want to keep 1), Waters, and Wright.

That sounds like a great trade to me(y) The Braves need pitching help also in the bullpen.

Braves lose 10-3. I know that the trip didn't end that well, but this was by far the toughest stretch of the schedule and at the beginning of the trip, I just wanted us to go 5-5. Well, the Braves did that, so I'm happy. We are also still in 1st place even though the Phillies and Nats hit an easy part in their schedule.

I think the Braves will have a 54-40 record going into the All Star Break. I think the Braves sweep the Blue Jays and win 2 of 3 from the Diamondbacks.
