The Atlanta Braves have once again been predicted to ink a free-agent lefty starter. Bleacher Report’s Kerry Miller has predicted that the Braves will sign Andrew Heaney.
Zachary D Rymer also suggested the Braves sign Heaney in a previous story.
Recent reports have said the Braves were virtually wrapped up with their offseason plans. But until that’s definitively the case, it’s always possible.
“So, who has the greatest 11th-hour need for a starting pitcher? Probably the Atlanta Braves, right?” Miller wrote.
To his credit, he’s not entirely wrong. Spencer Strider, Ian Anderson and Grant Holmes are all righties, so getting a lefty couldn’t hurt to will that gap left by Max Fried’s departure.
