"Well Spring Training is here in only a few days now, but the Braves still have a desire to add a starting pitcher and fortunately there are still some options out there, headlined by Chris Bassitt and Zac Gallen. They'd better get a move on to sign (or trade for) whoever they intend to add if they want to have them for a normal Spring Training, with pitchers (and catchers) reporting on Monday."
"Right now, Chris Sale, Spencer Schwellenbach, and Spencer Strider are rotation locks if healthy, Grant Holmes and Reynaldo Lopez are flex options for the rotation of bullpen with injury questions of their own, and Hurston Waldrep, Bryce Elder, Joey Wentz, and Martin Perez as legitimate rotation competitors. It would be nice to have one more piece in there with a little more certainty than the incumbent options."
The Braves aim to add a starting pitcher, with Chris Bassitt and Zac Gallen among primary options. Pitchers and catchers report Monday, so a signing or trade is needed soon to include an addition in a normal Spring Training. Current rotation locks, if healthy, are Chris Sale, Spencer Schwellenbach, and Spencer Strider. Grant Holmes and Reynaldo Lopez serve as flexible rotation or bullpen options but carry injury concerns. Hurston Waldrep, Bryce Elder, Joey Wentz, and Martin Perez are legitimate rotation competitors. One additional, more certain pitching piece would improve rotation stability. Rosters are mostly finalized and news is light.
