Three Free Agents the Atlanta Braves Should Sign and Two to Avoid…
Exploring affordable options the Braves can pursue to strengthen their roster.
After a record-breaking 2023 season, the Atlanta Braves struggled to maintain their momentum. They narrowly secured a Wild Card spot in a three-way tie with the Mets and Diamondbacks.
While Arizona was eliminated, Atlanta advanced alongside New York, only to be swept 0-2 by the Padres in the National League Wild Card series.
The Braves faced numerous challenges, including major injuries to key players like Ronald Acuña Jr. and Austin Riley.
Although Ozzie Albies and Michael Harris II returned in time for the playoffs, the team lost dependable pitchers Chris Sale and Reynaldo López to injuries at a crucial moment.
This offseason, General Manager Alex Anthopoulos is taking a conservative approach to the budget. Instead of targeting high-profile free agents, he is focused on cutting costs, such as through trades like the one involving Jorge Soler, while seeking undervalued players to stay under the third luxury tax threshold.
Over the years, Anthopoulos has excelled at identifying hidden gems, including acquisitions like Sale, López, Joc Pederson, and Soler.
What value picks might the Braves consider this offseason? Let’s dive in to find out.
