The Atlanta Braves are still struggling to solidify their starting rotation, especially when it comes to Charlie Morton and the back-half of the rotation.
In the first game of a double-header against the New York Mets on Tuesday, Morton allowed six hits, three walks and five runs--four earned--in 5 2/3 innings of work. Four of Morton's five runs came in his first two innings. It also took him 56 pitches to get through two.
Is it too early for Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos to start looking around for other arms?
"I don't think it's too early for the Braves to be looking around," Joe continued. "I do wonder how easy or difficult it is to make a move at this point in the season where--just teams don't really know where they are, who they are, what they plan to be this year."
Joe also mentioned the Braves could use their young arms, that are not necessarily ready right now, but could still be used on the trade block to bring in a veteran arm.
