"The Braves likely remain involved in many of the conversations focusing on adding a starting pitcher. And with the added bonus of not having traded away any prospects to feel their offseason needs, they could always pivot to the trade market as well. The good thing is that many avenues remain available for the Braves to strengthen their already strong rotation, even if it could into the new year when the move finally occurs."
"With the week of Christmas here, many of the top free agents in baseball remained unsigned. This includes some of the best starting pitching arms, including Framber Valdez, Zac Gallen, Ranger Suarez, and Tatsuya Imai. While this development is not entirely surprising, the timing of when signings could occur now becomes a bit harder to predict, especially with the holidays over the next two weeks."
Many of baseball’s top free agents remained unsigned as Christmas week begins, including starting pitchers Framber Valdez, Zac Gallen, Ranger Suarez, and Tatsuya Imai. Holiday timing complicates prediction of when signings will occur. The Atlanta Braves remain active in conversations about adding a starter and can pursue free agents or pivot to trades because no prospects were dealt away. Multiple avenues exist for the Braves to bolster a strong rotation, potentially into the new year. Early Hall of Fame ballot tracking shows Andruw Jones and Carlos Beltrán at 78% with under 10% of votes reported. Munetaka Murakami signed two years, $34 million with the Chicago White Sox.
