If the Atlanta Braves truly want to bolster their pitching staff this off-season, then perhaps there are some trade deals out there that are not tied to having the highest monetary bid or a Qualifying Offer.
Granted, if the team is looking for an impact player - and that seems a certainty - then such trade options are few, far between, and expensive. That also makes them unlikely... but between a determined Alex Anthopoulos and a ripe farm system, the Braves are as poised as anyone to be able to leverage such a deal.
