Braves Rumors

With only a few more hours until the non-waiver trade deadline here are the latest rublings from Atlanta:

-The Braves continued to push on other trade fronts and made offers for Kansas City closer Octavio Dotel and Cincinnati starter Bronson Arroyo. -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution (via foxsports.com)

-The Royals appeared to ready to trade veteran closer Octavio Dotel to the Atlanta Braves on Monday afternoon for right-handed starter Kyle Davies. The Royals continue to discuss trade possibilities with other club in case talks break down with the Braves. The Dodgers, Indians and Mariners have strongly pursued Dotel, who entered Monday's series opener against the Twins at 2-1 with a 3.91 ERA and 11 saves in 14 opportunities since returning May 22 from the disabled list. Davies, 23, has spent parts of the last three seasons in the Braves' rotation but has yet to reach their projection of a front-line starter. He was demoted recently to Class AAA Richmond after going 4-8 with a 5.76 ERA in 17 starts. -- KC Star (via foxsports.com)
