The MLB offseason reached a fever pitch in recent days with many of the top line free agents coming off the board ahead of the CBA’s expiration Wednesday night. The Atlanta Braves have been relatively quiet signing backup catcher Manny Pina and reliever Kirby Yates. There hasn’t been any public movement in their pursuit of retaining free agent Freddie Freeman. They have however kicked the tires on at least one contingency plan for Freeman according to a report by Jon Heyman who says that Atlanta is among the teams that have checked in on Athletics’ first baseman Matt Olson.
