The deadline is fast looming and every indication from the front office is that the Braves are going to play a part in it. Now what that part might be has yet to be determined, but I have a feeling we will find out very soon. Based on the critical mass of coverage we have seen recently I think a deal is coming soon

Here are a few sources:

And the many tweets hinting at someone as high profile as Hunter Pence seem to indicate a looming deal.

So here is a place to discuss it without inundating other threads with new developments. Post any new developments or tweet or whatever you feel to be relevant and let's hope that the Braves are big winners in the trade market before the day is through.
