According to David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Braves have interest in Nate Schierholtz. The Braves are looking for a left fielder, but they likely aren't viewing Schierholtz as a starting option. The 28-year-old outfielder is a .270/.319/.409 career hitter but offers plus defense in left and right field. The Yankees are thought to be the current front-runners for his services.
