After their 1-0 loss to the San Diego Padres last night the Atlanta Braves have lost eight of their last 11 games, and no longer have the best record in Major League Baseball, and with the recent injuries to their star right fielder and lead off hitter Ronald Acuña Jr. and starting pitcher Spencer Strider the Braves are in need of some reinforcements.
Earlier today the Morning Shift talked about what they think Braves General Manager Alex Anthopoulos needs to add to the team before the MLB trade deadline, explained why they think the Braves must add starting pitching and another bat before the deadline, and talked about how they think trading for Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal will probably be too pricey.
“The thing that bothers me the most is that if it doesn’t work out the effect it’ll have on future seasons could be absolutely tremendous” Beau Morgan said
It’ll likely take most of the Braves young prospects to get Tarik Skubal in a Braves uniform, and with Skubal being a guy who has dealt with his own injury concerns getting rid of that much young talent for one pitcher who has injury concerns may be too steep of a price for Alex Anthopoulos and the Braves.
