"Alex Anthopoulos still has a stated need to add a starting pitcher, will likely add a few more relievers, and could still add a shortstop or another quality bat. While it would be on-brand for this front office to get more offseason business done in November, the league often slows down around Thanksgiving. There may be some business early in the week, but I wouldn't expect much Wednesday through the weekend."
"We may be in for a bit of a wait here, after a flurry of Braves moves this week to shore up the infield and bullpen. Alex Anthopoulos still has a stated need to add a starting pitcher, will likely add a few more relievers, and could still add a shortstop or another quality bat. While it would be on-brand for this front office to get more offseason business done in November, the league often slows down around Thanksgiving."
The Braves made multiple moves to shore up the infield and bullpen but still need a starting pitcher and will likely add more relievers. The club could still pursue a shortstop or another quality bat. Offseason activity often slows around Thanksgiving, so substantial transactions may be limited midweek through the weekend after any early-week business. The winter meetings will provide the draft lottery outcome, which will affect the draft bonus pool and forward-facing prospect capital. That change in prospect capital could alter willingness to trade or to sign a free agent with a qualifying offer attached.
