The Atlanta Braves have been one of the busier teams to open the MLB offseason, swinging several trades to beef up their roster depth so far. Now, they are starting to take to the free agent market in an effort to add to their roster, and they recently made an interesting signing, although it's not one that will likely catch many folks attention.
You can never have enough pitching in the MLB, which explains why Atlanta decided to take a flier on Taylor Widener in free agency. Widener spent time with the Arizona Diamondbacks in the MLB for three seasons before pitching in Korea last season, and the Braves believed that it was worth seeing if Widener could find a way to carve out a role with the team, as they signed him to a minor-league deal.
