Part 6/10:
Relievers like Pete Fairbanks are now available in free agency after the Rays declined their option. The Braves could consider such options, possibly signing relievers for $10-12 million to bolster the late innings.
Other noteworthy free agents:
Kyle Schwarber
Dylan Cease
Edwin Diaz (though expensive)
Brandon Woodruff (unlikely to accept a qualifying offer)
Qualifying offers have been extended to several players, meaning the Braves need to weigh the costs of draft pick compensation if they pursue high-profile free agents.
Key Internal Decisions:
- Reevaluate Ronaldo Lopez and Grant Holmes, whose roles could shift depending on team needs.
