Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports points out that one possible replacement for the injured Chipper Jones is Brandon Inge.  However, in the process of the the Detroit Tigers trying to clear Inge through waivers, a team claimed him, and the Tigers pulled him back. Inge is now ineligible to be traded until the season is over.

Earlier this morning we talked about possible trade targets the Braves may go after if the team decides to go with an external option at third base. One other option Rosenthal adds is the Tigers’ Jhonny Peralta. The team has yet to try to clear him through waivers, but they may soon since they are 9 1/2 games out of AL Central.

The Braves are in need of third base depth since Jones was declared out for the season due to a torn ACL.

The waiver process doesn’t make sense? No worries. We have a write-up that explains how players can be traded in August. Check it out here.
