Casey Mize linked to Atlanta Braves ahead of MLB trade deadline
Summary

Casey Mize, a former Auburn pitcher, is drawing interest from the Atlanta Braves as the MLB trade deadline approaches on August 3. Mize has been a strong performer for the Detroit Tigers, holding a 4-6 record with a 2.70 ERA this season. With the Tigers sitting near the bottom of the AL Central, they are considered sellers in the trade market. The Braves are looking to bolster their pitching rotation, especially with injuries impacting their roster. Mize’s potential move to Atlanta is seen as beneficial for both him and the Braves as they aim for a postseason run.
