In a recent Q&A with fans on Twitter, General Manager John Coppolella confirmed the Atlanta Braves‘ front four pitching rotation going into spring as Julio Teheran, Bartolo Colon, Jaime Garcia, and R.A. Dickey.
According to Coppolella, the rotation’s fifth spot will be open for competition between John Danks, Mike Foltynewicz, Matt Wisler, and Aaron Blair.
In 2016, Atlanta’s starting staff had a combined record of 40-64, which was 29th out of 30 teams, coming in three wins above the Twins.
