"The offseason may almost be over, but the Braves have widely been rumored to still be looking to add a starting pitcher and there are plenty left on the open market, as well as some presumably available via trade. The biggest fish in free agency is Framber Valdez and there has been some buzz about him and the Braves for months now. This connection was reaffirmed on Saturday by Mark Feinsand."
"Valdez is a good pitcher getting into his mid-30s and would cost a draft pick to sign. Perhaps his availability this late into the offseason could result in a bit more team friendly of a deal, combined with those other factors, making it a more palatable signing for this front office. The Braves hosted some player panels, featuring the team's Rookie of the Year winners, star pitchers, and infielders."
The Braves remain in the market for a starting pitcher late in the offseason, with multiple free-agent and trade options available. Framber Valdez is the most prominent free-agent target and has been connected to the Braves for months. Valdez is entering his mid-30s and would require surrendering a draft pick to sign. His late availability could make a more team-friendly contract possible when combined with age and draft-pick cost considerations. If Valdez is not pursued or signed, several other starting-pitcher options remain. The team also hosted player panels featuring Rookie of the Year winners, star pitchers, and infielders.
