Moments following Mike Montgomery getting the final out of the 2016 World Series for the Chicago Cubs, the 2016-2017 offseason started. The Atlanta Braves seemed geared up and ready to make a huge splash in the following months. The splashing has occurred, but it’s more like splashing your girlfriend in the pool instead of a cannonball into the pool.
A few months/weeks ago, the Braves had the intent to go after a catcher, starting pitching, possibly a third baseman and bench help. Atlanta was rumored to have the money and willing to spend if the deal was right.
