But ATL will be just fine.

Bourn goes somewhere else -> Braves should get a compensation pick. Coming back for one year (which is all the Braves could afford him) and probably losing that pick doesn't make sense. Braves' dealing Prado to free up cap space and then getting a deal on Justin Upton means Braves still have a similar amount of money to spend but are a better team because of it.
I'm hoping they aren't done, because they need a better third baseman, or some decent bench bats.
