Wren: We’re Going To Add A Run Producer

Following today’s Javier Vazquez deal, Braves’ GM Frank Wren was a guest on 790 The Zone to talk about what lies ahead for his team. Click here to listen to the audio. 

Wren discussed how he sees the deal helping his team, but adds that “There’s definitely some more things we’re doing.” When asked directly if he was looking to add a middle of the order bat, Wren replied “We think we’re in the mix for a guy just like that. We’re going to add a run producer that’s going to round out our offense.”

The Vazquez deal saves the team about $9MM next season, and they’re known to be seeking a righthander hitter. Jason Bay and Matt Holliday both appear to be too expensive, though names like Marlon Byrd and Adam LaRoche have been kicked around.
