Spring Training games begin for the Atlanta Braves on Feb. 22. But that doesn't mean the team still can't make a free agency addition to their pitching staff.
MLB insider Héctor Gómez reported the Braves are still considering at least one free agency signing -- left-handed starter Jose Quintana.
Gómez tweeted on Feb. 20 the Braves are one of five teams "showing interest" in Quintana. The other four are the New York Mets, Texas Rangers, San Diego Padres and Milwaukee Brewers.
"SOURCE: Mets, Rangers, Padres, Braves and Brewers are showing interest in Jose Quintana, who was close to reaching an agreement with the Pirates, but he declined their offer," tweeted Gomez.
