Even if they could pull a rabbit out of the hat and win the WC they are not at the same level as the Mets or even the Cards when healthy. The Braves GM knows this. Making the playoffs to go out in the first round is an old story for the Braves. I just don't see the Braves being anxious to keep a high-priced old player with a history of arm problems when he can use him to trade for prospects to build for the future.
