The Braves have not been shy about trading young, MLB-ready pitching in recent seasons, with guys like Kyle Wright, Kyle Muller, Bryce Wilson, Jared Shuster, Tucker Davidson, Freddy Tarnock and Cole Phillips all now pitching elsewhere after starting their career as top prospect in the Atlanta organization.
Left-hander Dylan Dodd is currently on the 40-man roster pitching at Triple-A Gwinnett, and they also have Bryce Elder, AJ Smith-Shawver, Huascar Ynoa and Allan Winans seemingly ahead of him on the pecking order.
Dodd, 25, made seven starts in the majors last year, and while he is not going to be the centerpiece in a huge blockbuster deal, that's not the type of trade the Braves are likely to make anyway. Controllable pitching is always in-demand for non-contenders, and he could bring back a piece that can help immediately.
