Braves Could Reunite With Joc Pederson
2 years agoThe Atlanta Braves are looking for outfield help at the trade deadline, according to a source, and they could reunite with San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson (concussion), but the Giants are four games out of a wild-card spot and haven't decided if they'll be sellers. A rival executive believes the Giants are "ready to sell" after losing eight of nine games since the All-Star break. Pederson is currently on the concussion injured list, but the Braves remember his strong postseason run a year ago with them and might want him back for the stretch run again this year. The 30-year-old left-handed slugger made his second All-Star appearance this year and is currently hitting .242/.319/.492 with an .811 OPS, 17 home runs, 43 RBI, 36 runs scored and three stolen bases in 87 games.
