On the field, the Braves took care of business in a four game sweep of the Washington Nationals.
Off the field, the Braves took care of business, at least partially, in trading for veteran starter Tyler Mahle from the Giants to help their starting pitching.
So overall, it was a good day for Atlanta. But it cannot be all that they do before the trade deadline at 5:00 EST today. More arms are needed, and with a farm system that continues to blossom, the Braves have the resources to get something significant
done.
