4. If no trades happen in the next few hours, who from the minors can help the braves in the final months?
Ben: Cunningham, Harper, and Thomas were mentioned, but a guy like Jose Peraza or Kyle Wren could do very well for the team if given a role where they played frequently. That would mean a guy like BJ Upton or Chris Johnson no longer has a job.
Alan: Jose Peraza for sure. He would have Billy Hamilton impact. Also, Bethancourt could if you use Gattis for DH (vs. Seattle/Texas). Instant bench upgrade. Gosselin is a dark horse if an outfielder gets hurt.
