The Atlanta Braves have acted quickly this offseason reenforcing the back end of the bullpen while trying to turn an uncertainty in 2019 into a strength for 2020. The Braves still have a number of questions that still need to be answered in regards to the current roster. One question that may not get answered this offseason is a contract extension for first baseman Freddie Freeman.
MLB.com’s Mark Bowman tackled that question in his weekly mailbag on Friday and pointed to Freeman’s elbow injury as a potential reason to wait just a bit longer before discussing a new deal.
