Braves Rumors – Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports /

The Atlanta Braves have made it apparent this offseason that they are ready to win now and in the future. According to these Braves rumors, what players may they now, in turn, deal?

Despite being a Los Angeles Dodgers fan, I cannot help myself in rooting for the Atlanta Braves this season. First off, I am a huge fan of Freddie Freeman and Dansby Swanson, and more importantly I want Matt Kemp to succeed. I would not mind seeing an Atlanta-Los Angeles NLCS, and the first step to getting there would be these potential Braves rumors.

Okay, that may be a tad optimistic, but the Braves can potentially flirt with a Wild Card spot. Of course, they likely have as slim of a chance making the World Series as any, but anything is possible in the sports world today. Maybe the Angels swap Mike Trout for the entire Braves farm system, you never know! (Obviously joking.)

The Atlanta Braves have the ability to be something very special in the near future with all the young talent they have. Much like the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox, the future is bright. However, for the Braves, the present also looks bright as, unlike the other teams, Atlanta seems to already be ready for this run.

So, with that being said, which three Atlanta Braves players may get dealt before season’s end according to these Braves rumors?
