Report: Braves trying to trade Chris Johnson
As the trade deadline draws nearer, the Atlanta Braves are apparently trying to make a deal that would send third baseman Chris Johnson elsewhere.
FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the Braves are trying to latch Johnson onto a trade that would likely include another Braves player.
Sources: #Braves continue pushing 3B Chris Johnson in trade proposals, including deals in which he would be attached to another player.

Since Atlanta acquired veteran third baseman Juan Uribe, Johnson has seen less time on the field, primarily due to his offensive struggles.
