Chat with Frank Wren

15 November 2007

New Braves GM Frank Wren chatted with Braves fans online today and had quite a few interesting points that I thought I'd highlight for you guys.
  • The Braves want to re-sign left-handed reliever Ron Mahay and are looking for another lefty to pair with Royce Ring out of the pen (presumably if a deal can't be worked out with Mahay).
  • If Tom Glavine comes to a deal with the Braves, Wren and the front office will not be looking for any more starters and instead will try and improve other parts of the club.
  • Officially put the Mike Lowell and Ken Griffey Jr. rumors to rest. They sounded ridiculous to begin with.
  • It sounds like the Braves will be keeping top pick Jason Heyward in right field for the time being.
  • I can finally stop hearing about a chance of Kelly Johnson being moved back to the outfield or traded. Wren thinks "he can be one of the best all-around players at that position". I agree.
