The trade market for Padres first baseman Adrian Gonzalez has yet to develop because San Diego is playing well, but a new suitor could emerge.

The Red Sox have long been considered the front-runner to land Gonzalez, but FOX Sports writes that the Braves could have interest in the slugger.

Atlanta has a great pitching staff, but their hitting can be sub-par at times.

"They won't score many runs once teams realize that you shouldn't pitch to (Jason) Heyward ? except inside," a scout said.
