The Atlanta Braves are trying to swing a deal that involves Rodrigo Lopez reports ESPN’s Buster Olney. The right hander signed a Minor League deal with an invitation to Spring Training back in January.

Yesterday, we learned that the team is also trying to deal right hander Kenshin Kawakami. He is trying to remain focused on his preparation despite the trade rumors.

The 35-year-old Lopez spent 2010 with the Diamondbacks where he went 7-16 with a 5.00 ERA in 33 starts.  In addition to the Braves, he had been pursued by the Colorado Rockies (a team he last pitched for in 2007) and the New York Mets.
