After the bombshell trade to acquire Matt Olson along with signing Eddie Rosario and Collin McHugh, there has been an open question as to whether or not the Braves were going to be done making any significant additions to their roster before the season. On the one hand, David O’Brien reported earlier that the Braves only had about $15 million left in payroll space and that was BEFORE adding Rosario, McHugh, and Alex Dickerson. On the other hand, outfield depth is still a real issue and they probably could stand to add a lower end rotation arm.
With that in mind, it is very interesting to see the Braves connected to an old friend this evening.
