Left-hander Chris Sale could win the Cy Young award for the 2024 season. But that doesn't mean the Atlanta Braves couldn't add another southpaw to their rotation this winter.
At least that's what three baseball insiders from The Athletic argued when they named the potential landing spots for the top MLB free agents on Nov. 7.
The Athletic's Tim Britton, Chad Jennings and Aaron Gleeman called the Braves a "best fit" for Houston Astros starter Yusei Kikuchi.
"Prior to the end of last season, Kikuchi had been more steady than sensational. He was an All-Star in 2021 but finished that season with a slightly below-average 93 ERA+, and he has an underwhelming 91 ERA+ for his career," wrote Britton, Jennings and Gleeman.
