Atlanta Braves news and links: Suzuki, Fried, and Andruw’s HOF chances

The Braves bolstered their depth at one of their weaker positions over the weekend, as they brought in Kurt Suzuki on a one-year deal with a base $1.5 million salary. Suzuki finished the 2016 season with a .258/.301/.403 slash line with 86 wRC+ and 8 homers, but he’s probably a better bet to serve as a capable backup Tyler Flowers over Anthony Recker. Speaking of Recker:
