The Braves split a doubleheader with the Mets, highlighting ongoing offensive issues—especially vs left-handed pitching—and raising questions about how aggressively Atlanta should buy at the deadline. Lindsay Crosby argues for investing, noting reinforcements like Sean Murphy and Ha-Seong Kim could help, but a righty bat and pitching upgrades are still needed. He also breaks down A.J. Smith-Shawver’s start, detailing improved velocity and pitch shapes, command concerns, and why he could develop into a postseason starter.

Lindsay Crosby breaks down Atlanta’s trade deadline needs, arguing the Braves must add at least one postseason-caliber starter and likely a high-leverage reliever, with rotation and bullpen decisions tightly linked by non-optionable arms. He weighs a “quality” move like Tarik Skubal versus spreading resources across multiple additions, preferring two starters plus a bullpen arm. He also highlights an under-discussed offensive issue: the Braves’ poor production vs left-handed pitching (92 wRC+, low walk rate, sub-.400 slug), and suggests targeting a bat—often a right-handed outfielder—who can hit lefties. Potential names discussed include Skubal, Casey Mize, Kevin Gausman, Reid Detmers, Michael Wacha, Taylor Ward, and Lane Thomas, with an ideal outcome being four total additions.
