Rumor Round UP

With the trade deadline fast approaching here a couple of the latest rumors circling the Braves:


Jeff Francoeur’s relocation project
Hardly a new rumor, the Braves right fielder has been the subject of trade rumors pretty much all season. Whether it was a failed attempt to trade him to the Marlins or rumors that he might be headed to the Royals for Jose Guillen, it seems Frenchy’s name just cannot seem to get out of the paper. His recent three game benching hasn’t been helping him much either, as he went 1-for-4 in the Braves 2-1 victory over the Cubs.


Yunel Escobar gone too?
His attitude may need adjusting, but it appears his abilities are just too good for the Braves to let go of him. While there has been some inquiries as to his availability, the Braves are not nibbling.

Finally, ESPN’s Buster Olney goes over possible trade partners for the Braves here.
