The Braves have pulled out of the Jake Peavy sweepstakes and have turned their attention to free-agent pitcher A.J. Burnett. Burnett's agent says that the Braves are among six teams "fully engaged" in negotiations for the pitcher. "They're right in the mix," agent Darek Braunecker, said of the Braves, who appeal to Burnett in part because he thinks he could thrive in a return to the NL. "It's a place he?s always enjoyed," Braunecker said. "He loves Bobby Cox, respects the hell out of him, and he?s pretty close with Chipper [Jones]. He knows what they have, what opportunities they have [to improve]."
