Braves have some tough arbitration decisions to make

There is no offseason for MLB front offices, and the Braves’ is no different. While playoff games are still being played, front offices across the league are already doing their due diligence on decisions to be made in the offseason. One of those first decisions to be made will be whether they offer contracts to their players who are eligible for arbitration. For the Braves, that means Alex Anthopoulos and company must decide whether they will tender contracts to nine players from their 2019 roster. Just like their decision on whether to exercise contract options (which I wrote about earlier here), these decisions lay the groundwork for what they do in free agency and on the trade market.
