The Atlanta Braves are almost definitely going to be saying some tough goodbyes this winter.
Following a 2024 season that was derailed by injuries to star players, the Braves are looking to reload their roster without breaking the bank. Ronald Acuña Jr., Spencer Strider, and Austin Riley should all be back, which means Atlanta can hypothetically afford to let others walk.
Lost in the injury shuffle somewhat was reliable left-handed reliever A.J. Minter, who underwent hip surgery in September. The eight-year veteran has spent his entire career with the Braves so far, contributing some crucial innings to Atlanta' 2021 World Series run.
