ATLANTA -- The Braves' search for a closer will not be influenced by whether they opt to tender Arodys Vizcaino a contract before Friday night's deadline.
All Major League teams have until Friday at 8 p.m. ET to decide which of their arbitration-eligible players will be tendered a contract. Adam Duvall appears to be the Braves' most likely non-tender candidate, but Vizcaino might be the most intriguing.
The Braves have eight arbitration-eligible players -- Duvall, Vizcaino, Jonny Venters, Kevin Gausman, Mike Foltynewicz, Sam Freeman, Dan Winkler and Charlie Culberson.
