Tomahawk Take Editor’s Note: On November 10, 2016 the Atlanta Braves signed Jordan Walden to a minor league contract in hopes he would be healthy enough come spring training time. Well, turns out that was not the case. Still recovering from a shoulder injury, Walden was ruled not healthy enough and both parties agreed to void the contract. With this minor league deal, he was given an invite to the 2017 spring training and it could have been possible to make the Braves opening day bullpen — if healthy. The Braves have plenty of pen options so this really shouldn’t effect the plans at all.
