It appears that Simmons is not making any progress at the plate, and some team might give up a nice return for him. The Braves simply have to rid themselves of all the .300 OBP hitters that are weighing down this lineup.
A lineup of Peraza, TLS, JUp, Freeman, Gattis, Heyward, CJ, BJ (or similar) might look pretty good over the next few years.
