Atlanta Braves News / SportsTalkATL / July 29

The Braves’ focus ahead of the trade deadline: pitching, pitching, and more pitching, with a little side of offense. The club needs to add someone who can, at the very least, platoon in left field and at DH, but their top priorities undoubtedly surround the rotation and a bullpen that’s struggled mightily over the last month or so.
