Braves.com says wren is considering it. I don't see him having the guts to pull the trigger. I think they are still hesitant because of texeria deal. Thoughts?

Too injury prone for my liking, the Braves have suffered too much since Ted Turner had to go with Time Warner, wish the Home depot guy would have bought the Braves.

liberty media acquired braves to avoid paying some taxes (complicated deal) and i dearly hope they will unload the team the second they can do so legally.
arthur blank or mark cuban should buy it.
also, greinke is not injury prone.

If they make that trade then it would signify a change in direction for ATL. They haven't been trying to win a pennant in a very long time. Their strategy has been to win enough to keep the suckers interested, tuning in on TBS and occasionally coming to the games. Just trying to be marginally profitable. This would be the first attempt to make a move to win more than that in a LONG time.

Believe they were on last week against the phillies though it was blacked out in the Georgia and South Carolina markets because it was on Fox sports network

No, they weren't. And even if they were it wouldn't have backed up the point the OP was trying to make. TBS is not the national network of the Btaves anymore, the way WGN is for the Cubs and the YES Network is for the Yanks. TBS has a contract with MLB to broadcast games league wide. The Braves rarely if ever play on TBS. the Phils game you are referring to was on Fox, not FSN. It was quite obvious the OP didn't know what he was talking about to anyone who keeps up with the Braves.

Interesting article. I could really see the Bravos going after Dempster.

Braves likely to be in market for starting pitcher | braves.com: News

Braves general manager Frank Wren will continue to evaluate his team's needs leading up to the July 31 Trade Deadline. But as things currently stand, it appears landing a starting pitcher stands as the primary priority.

The cast comes off in 4 weeks. And that doesnt mean he will play right away.

Braves mulling options at shortstop | braves.com: News

When the Braves placed shortstop Andrelton Simmons on the 15-day disabled list on Monday with a broken right pinkie finger, they did not immediately call anyone up to take his roster spot. Manager Fredi Gonzalez said that the decision won't be made until after Triple-A Gwinnett's game on Thursday night.
