Report: Braves' Miller drawing significant trade interest

Atlanta Braves general manager John Coppolella swears he's not rebuilding, though it hasn't stopped him from listening to offers on his biggest stars.

Having already dealt shortstop Andrelton Simmons and outfielder Cameron Maybin this month, the Braves are getting a lot of interest in right-hander Shelby Miller, though they have put a very high price tag on the 25-year-old, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports.

The San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers reportedly have interest in acquiring Miller. Heyman adds that the Braves are believed to want Joc Pederson in return from L.A., or Marcell Ozuna and more should they deal with their division rivals in Miami.

Miller was arguably the unluckiest pitcher in the majors last season, losing an MLB-worst 17 games, despite posting a 3.02 ERA and career-high 171 strikeouts. The former first-round pick is signed through the 2018 season.

The Braves don't have to move Miller; a pitcher of his quality and control is worth hanging onto. Atlanta, however, has a need at third base, in the outfield, and behind the plate, and could continue to bolster their minor-league pitching depth through a deal.
