For those holding out hope that Jeff Francoeur and the Braves might reach a long-term deal like Brian McCann did last spring, the chances appear to be getting dimmer. Neither side will say for sure, but Braves general manager Frank Wren said Saturday the only talks between the Braves and Francoeur's agent recently have been in an attempt to agree on a one-year contract. "I think I've made it known to everybody I want to be a Brave," said Francoeur, who changed agents in the offseason to Lonnie Cooper's Career Sports & Entertainment. "I want to be here a long time. It's also got to be right on both sides." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution
