There is another pitcher that Atlanta had an interest in before the 2023 trade deadline, who would be a great addition. However, a good front office doesn't just consider one option, they look at everything available. Atlanta was rumored to have offered 6-years around $162 million but that has yet to be confirmed.Īs mentioned above, Gray would still be just as good of a move as landing Nola. They just missed out on signing Aaron Nola as he signed a 7-year contract with the Phillies. The Braves are seen as favorites to land Sonny Gray who would be a great fit for the rotation. Who will that choice be? That remains unclear. The question at the time is more on when they will add a starter and not if. However, Atlanta still has to fulfill their need for quality starting pitching.
They've non-tendered a good amount of players, made a significant trade with the White Sox, and signed a flamethrowing reliever to get things started. The Atlanta Braves haven't been shy about making changes to their roster this offseason.
