Story summary
  • The Atlanta Braves, led by Alex Anthopoulos (president of baseball operations), failed to complete a trade for Texas Rangers pitcher Jacob deGrom before the deadline.
  • The club also pursued Logan Webb, rejected many offers, and, according to Anthopoulos, made difficult but necessary decisions.
  • Because the Braves could not add a significant starter to complement ace Chris Sale, their roster moves did not improve the rotation for October.
