Lindsay Crosby and AJC’s Gabe Burns break down why the Braves’ trade deadline felt disappointing without landing an impact starter, focusing on Alex Anthopoulos’ defense of the organization’s long-term process and prospect valuations. They discuss missed targets like Tarik Skubal and Jacob deGrom, the lack of a clear pivot, reliance on bullpen-heavy postseason “mapping 27 outs,” and roster moves including DFA’ing Jorge Mateo, activating Ha-Seong Kim, and sticking with Jim Jarvis at shortstop. They also touch on farm system optimism, surprise prospects, and how October outcomes will shape the reaction.
