Atlanta Braves and MLB at large awaiting the Trade Deadline

The Atlanta Braves got back on track with a series win against the Milwaukee Brewers over the weekend, maintaining a big lead in the NL East standings as the Trade Deadline approaches. Grant McAuley runs through the stories of the week for Atlanta, including a torrid hot streak from Austin Riley, some shuffling of the pitching staff, a look at the trade market, Travis d'Arnaud's contract extension, and some minor leaguers getting a major opportunity. On a day that Fred McGriff was enshrined to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, you'll hear some of the "Crime Dog's" speech. His former teammate Ron Gant joins the show to discuss the 1993 Pressbox Fire, McGriff's arrival, and Gant's bobblehead giveaway that pays tribute to an unforgettable night in Braves history. With the trade deadline roughly a week away, Victor Rojas joins the show to size up all of the factors the Angels are weighing for a potential Shohei Ohtani trade as well as the case for Los Angeles to perhaps hold onto their prized superstar. All of that and a trip around the big leagues! Make sure to connect with From The Diamond on social media. Hear the show live every Sunday on 92-9 The Game in Atlanta.
