Braves trade pitch pairs Chris Sale and Spencer Strider with another ace to put Atlanta over the top<\/a> originally appeared on The Sporting News<\/a>. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Atlanta Braves<\/a>\u2019 injuries on the mound have continued to be a problem for the organization over the past few years, and it should make them go out and land another high-end starter.<\/p>\n

Freddy Peralta seems to be the best one available, depending on what the Milwaukee Brewers<\/a> want to do. The Brewers might not want to send him to a National League team, but if they get the best return, that’s what Milwaukee should seek.<\/p>\n

Jay Staph of Just Baseball recently floated the idea of the Braves acquiring Peralta in a deal that would send pitching prospect JR Ritchie, shortstop Alex Lodise, and right-hander Jhancarlos Lara to Milwaukee, a fair trade.<\/p>\n

\u201cAside from these four arms being incredibly talented, they share something else in common: their inability to stay healthy and throw significant innings down the stretch. This is exactly where Freddy Peralta comes in, as he\u2019s a huge help in this area alone,\u201d he wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Braves aren\u2019t short on elite arms, but it’s to the point where we can’t really trust a lot of them. Peralta is a proven ace-caliber starter with swing-and-miss stuff who has shown he can handle a full workload.<\/p>\n

From a cost perspective, the deal makes sense. Ritchie has massive potential but prospects are just prospects at the end of the day. Finding a guaranteed star like Peralta would be a better idea for Atlanta.<\/p>\n
