Braves' Matt Olson expresses confidence in pitching despite trade miss

Matt Olson of the Atlanta Braves voiced confidence in the team's pitching staff after they failed to acquire Tarik Skubal from the Detroit Tigers. The team has made a minor trade, bringing in Lane Thomas and Bailey Falter from the Kansas City Royals. Olson praised the pitchers for keeping the team competitive, noting their performance has allowed the offense to recover in games. Despite the trade deadline passing without securing a top-quality pitcher, manager Walt Weiss expressed satisfaction with the current rotation and bullpen. The Braves, sitting atop the NL East with a 67-45 record, recently swept the Washington Nationals and will face the Miami Marlins next.
