David O' Brien of the Atlanta Journal Constitution is reporting that Atlanta may be close to making a deal. Frank Wren and Bobby Cox were holed up in an office for more than an hour on Thursday before the game, leading to rampant speculation about an imminent trade for the Braves.
According to O'Brien, the Braves could get someone who is not a free agent next year for Vazquez. Which would lead one to think the Braves might be in on someone who is young and inexpensive, just like McLouth.

That said, I decided to put together a little wish list of players the Braves might be going after.
These deals aren't just put together in my mind as some little off the wall deal. I think each of these deals out, and if I deem it possible I will place it on this slide show.
In other words, there will be no predictions like Kelly Johnson and Jeff Francoeur for a major league player—much less either of them for Adam Dunn. Don't laugh, I've actually seen this offer from Braves fans who have no clue.
