The last-place Atlanta Braves are expected to continue their rebuild by making a number of veterans available at the non-waiver trade deadline.
Among the names the Braves are looking to deal are infielder Erick Aybar and outfielder Jeff Francoeur, who rival executives say are are being "aggressively" shopped, reports Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.
Aybar has seen a major drop in production at the plate this season, hitting .208/.267/.528 with home run and 11 doubles in 78 games.
Francoeur has appeared in 80 games this season, seeing time in left and right field. The 32-year-old is hitting .251/.292/.379 with five home runs and 13 doubles. Both he and Aybar are free agents at the end of the season.
