If you’re thinking that the Atlanta Braves really haven’t gotten anything started in this off-season so far, you’d be wrong. True, there have been no major trades or player signings, but that’s not what happens here in the first week of November.
Over the next week, the center stage will be occupied with the rest of baseball’s awards starting with Rookies of the Year on Monday (Nov 12) and concluding with MVP announcements on Thursday. During this period, MLB tends to prefer that the awards – and the players winning them – rather than seeing a lot of major trade or free agent signing news.
