World Series Champions Allegedly Interesting in Acquiring Atlanta Braves Cleanup Hitter

The Atlanta Braves fell to 12-31 on Sunday with a shutout loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. Cleanup hitter Nick Markakis went 0-4 and hit into a double play. He also fell on his face in the field. Despite all this, according to The Boston Globe, the defending World Series champion Kansas City Royals are considering Markakis as a possible trade target. This is really just an excuse to post this picture of Markakis and think about how bad the Braves are for a moment.
