Adrian Gonzalez Trade Rumors: Braves may be in the market

By Allan

Adrian GonzalezJon Paul Morosi of FOXSports says the Atlanta Braves may be in the market for Padres’ slugger Adrian Gonzalez.

The team is batting .229, third worst in the National League, so the team may be shopping come trade deadline. Morosi says the Braves have the pitching staff to allow them to contend all season, but he doubts their offense will keep them at the top of the NL East.

“They won’t score many runs once teams realize that you shouldn’t pitch to (Jason) Heyward – except inside,” the scout said.

The Boston Red Sox are often mentioned in Gonzalez trade talks, but it’s widely believed that they do not have enough in their farm system for the Padres to agree to a trade.
