Last year the Atlanta Braves gave Anibal Sanchez a minor league deal late in the offseason and he turned out to be one of their best pitchers.
He was so good that the Washington Nationals signed him to a two-year deal this offseason that will guarantee him $19 million.
The Braves pitching staff is very young, and I know I would feel a lot more comfortable with a veteran starter in the rotation.
Of course, the Braves may already have this person in place with Julio Teheran. But I’m looking for someone on a minor league contract who could have a surprise year like Sanchez did in 2018.
