As the MLB trade deadline looms, the Braves need to make some moves in order to remain competitive.

The Atlanta Braves haven’t exactly had the best season.

With the trade deadline coming up fast, it’s becoming obvious to any observer that the Braves need to shake up their roster if they want to break out of the cellar of the NL East. Here are five trades that the Braves could conceivably make before the deadline that would help them immensely.
