“We’re definitely not a complete team,” said Anthopoulos. “It’s been pretty obvious that if there’s a playoff caliber starter out there, we would jump at that,” said Anthopoulos. The Braves have leaned heavily on Chris Sale, Grant Holmes, Pérez and Elder this season. A broader approach from Anthopoulos means we’ll likely see the Braves connected to a larger swath of targets in the next couple weeks, but that only opens the door for more creativity and more volume in their deadline activity. “I just don’t think at the deadline we can say ‘We have to get this reliever’ or ‘We have to get this bat,” Anthopoulos concluded.
