The Braves blew off some fireworks to end 2023, acquiring Chris Sale from the Red Sox in return for Vaughn Grissom. It’s a trade most Braves fans seem to be fond of. Sale’s injury history is a concern, but Boston is paying most of his 2024 salary and the rest of the money is deferred.
The Braves haven’t been the busiest team in free agency, but it isn’t for a lack of spending. Alex Anthopoulos has been trading players like a madman, taking on a lot of money to put the Braves in the best position to win another World Series this year. This has allowed Atlanta to hang onto
The Braves made their biggest splash of the offseason over the holidays, swinging a trade for seven-time All-Star Chris Sale before the new year. In return, Boston received Vaughn Grissom, a relatively stiff price to pay for a pitcher who has totaled just 31 starts and 151.0 innings since the start of the 2021 campaign.

In the minds of many, that’s a fireable offense. However, it must
The Falcons defense has been the strength of the team for the entire season. There have been lapses at times, but this is undoubtedly the best defensive unit we’ve seen in Atlanta in quite some time, and they terrorized the Colts on Christmas Eve, sacking Gardner Minshew six times and holding Indianapolis to just ten
The recent historic signing of Yoshinobu Yamamoto by the Dodgers prompted Tyler Kepner of The Athletic to dive into the history of Japanese pitchers that have made their way across the Pacific to pitch in the States.

Most expected the Braves to bolster their rotation this offseason. It hasn’t happened to this point, but it’s not for a lack of trying. The Braves were reportedly serious threats to the Phillies for Aaron Nola, who needed to up their offer to seven years, $172 million to retain him. Alex Anthopoulos has also said
Coming off an embarrassing loss to the Panthers that really put a dent in the Falcons playoff chances, Arthur Smith’s squad bounced back with their most impressive victory of the season against the Colts.
