ATLANTA (AP) -- The Atlanta Braves haven't closed the door on adding a free agent, preferably on a short-term deal.
General manager Alex Anthopoulos said Saturday he's still considering free-agent options at third base, the outfield and in the bullpen. He said he's not looking to add a long-term contract that would block the path of outfielder Ronald Acuna or third baseman Austin Riley.
''I would say our focus, unless it's somebody we really believe in, would be on a shorter term deal because we don't want to block a Riley, we don't want to block an Acuna,'' Anthopoulos said.
