With Free Agency just a few days away (Nov 2), and a lot of big names out there, it feels like this could be the Atlanta Braves time to splurge. However, as history tells us, that isn’t likely to happen. So while Bryce Harper would be great on this team, it’s just unlikely the Braves to fork over $30M or more a year to 1 player.
The Braves currently have 35 active players on the 40 man roster. It was surprising not seeing a move about Sam Freeman. With Venters, Biddle and Minter on the current roster, and McCreery and Clouse likely ready, it’ might be fair to say that Sam Freeman’s days as a Braves are likely over.
