The Atlanta Braves have had to deal with so many setbacks this season. So when the news came out that Ronald Acuna would be done for the season, it essentially goes right along with what they've dealt with in the first half of the season. Acuna tore his right ACL going for a ball against the Miami Marlins, and is set to have season ending surgery.
The question now is, with the Braves being four games out of first place in the NL East, do they make a move at the trade deadline to try to salvage the season.
Joe Patrick, of 92.9 The Game, joined Thomas Mott on the Jon Chuckery show to discuss what he would do at the trade deadline if he was making decisions for the home town team. "This team has a huge hole in left field, that its had since Marcell Ozuna had that whole incident with him" Patrick said.
There was no doubt that there were holes in their lineup before Acuna was injured, so maybe there are some moves to be made before the deadline given the circumstances. It's just a matter of what the Braves want the rest of the season to look like. The only person that has the answer to that is general manager Alex Anthopoulos.
