Braves Discussing Zach Britton
6 years agoThe Atlanta Braves have talked to the Baltimore Orioles about closer Zach Britton. The Braves are seeking bullpen help and have a loaded farm system. Britton might be the most coveted trade chip now that Manny Machado has been dealt, and it seems like a foregone conclusion that Britton will be playing for a different team by the end of this month. The lefty closer struggled initially after returning from an Achilles injury this year, but he's now gone seven straight outings without allowing a run with six strikeouts. He has plenty of closing experience and would probably take over the closing duties in Atlanta. That'd be bad news for A.J. Minter and Arodys Vizcaino.
