Braves Rumors: Seth Smith, Cody Ross Interest, Michael Bourn Extension Talks

Over at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Braves blog, David O'Brien offers up a few updates on the Braves' offseason. Here's the gist of it:

• The Braves are still in on Seth Smith, though the Rockies would obviously have to throw more into a package in exchange for Martin Prado or Jair Jurrjens.
• The Braves have some interest in Cody Ross, though they're waiting for him to lower his price tag.
• O'Brien is surprised about the Ryan Theriot rumor, as Atlanta needs someone who can handle shortstop well. He believes the interest was overstated.
• The team hasn't begun to discuss a contract extension with Michael Bourn, who is set to become a free agent at the end of this season.

• Braves still looking for possible deals as new year begins | Atlanta Braves
  "The Braves haven't signed a free agent or made a significant trade acquisition since the 2011 season ended. But they're still looking to do so."
