Atlanta Braves: Possible Matt Adams Trade Destinations
By Tim Boyle
If the Atlanta Braves decide to trade Matt Adams, which teams would he fit in with best?
The Atlanta Braves pulled off one of the more mysterious yet effective trades this year when they acquired first baseman Matt Adams from the St. Louis Cardinals. Almost immediately, this was a trade St. Louis regretted. Adams powered his way into the hearts of many Braves fans and made life without Freddie Freeman a little easier.
Of course, that life was only a temporary one. Freeman eventually returned from the disabled list with a bat full of talent. The Braves tried a few things to keep both in the lineup. This included Freeman playing third base and Adams logging innings in the outfield.
Although this benefitted the offense, the defensive alignment was frightening. Freeman is not a third baseman. Even more obvious is how much Adams does not fit into the corner outfield. These two are first basemen who don’t belong on the same roster.
No one should sleep on the Braves this offseason. They are in the perfect position to make lots of moves to improve their roster. One of those moves is to deal away Adams while the price is still high.
