Bleacher Report's Zachary D. Rymer didn't predict the Atlanta Braves to sign any of the top 10 remaining starting pitchers in MLB free agency.
A lot of top starting pitchers have gone off the market to end the 2024 calendar year. But there are still some quality hurlers and perhaps some bargain pitchers available.landing any of the best starters still on the market.
On Dec. 20, Rymer ranked the top 10 starting pitchers that are either free agents or who could be available on the trade block. Rymer made final predictions for each pitcher's destination and didn't choose the Braves for any of them. Although that would be disappointing for Braves fans, it's not all the surprising of a prediction from Rymer. The Bleacher Report analyst has beenRymer only predicted the Braves to be involved in trying to re-sign Max Fried and Charlie Morton. Obviously, any attempt from the Braves to re-sign Fried didn't work, as he inked an 8-year, $218 million contract with the New York Yankees. Different reports about whether Morton will return to Atlanta or not have surfaced this offseason. But the latest from The Athletic's David O'Brien on Dec. 11 indicatedStarters Chris Sale, Reynaldo López and Spencer Schwellenbach will be back in Atlanta next year. As will Spencer Strider as soon as he recovers from Tommy John surgery. He may be able to return in May. Without any offseason additions, that means the Braves could be counting on major contributions from Grant Holmes and Bryce Elder. Other starters such as AJ Smith-Shawver and Hurston Waldrep may be needed for significant innings as well. Other pundits, though, have given the Braves a better chance of landing one of the top pitchers left available this offseason.Published
