The Atlanta Braves have had a quiet offseason — alarmingly quiet, if you ask ESPN's Jeff Passan.
While Max Fried and Charlie Morton both have new homes, Atlanta hasn't done anything to replace them quite yet. In fact, the Braves haven't signed a single Major Leaguer in free agency this offseason.
Passan does not expect that to last with Atlanta poised to get Ronald Acuña Jr. and Spencer Strider back from injury for 2025.
“The Braves are about $20 million under the first luxury tax threshold, and [general manager Alex] Anthopoulos has suggested they could exceed it for the third consecutive season, so there is room to add,” Passan wrote on Monday.
