At this moment in time (Sunday evening), a quick look at all signed Free Agents will reveal something remarkable: of 11 signed players, six of them are now members of the Atlanta Braves.
One of those is Gerardo Parra, who signed in Japan, so you could argue that it’s actually 6 of 10 signing with MLB clubs.
- Nick Markakis – technically a free agent for about 20 seconds whilst he inked a replacement contract.
- Tyler Flowers – same thing, but it still counts
- Darren O’Day – don’t forget him: we haven’t seen much of the sidewinder, but that’s set to change in 2020
- Will Smith – ranked as the best relief option on the market
- Chris Martin – a top 5-ranked free agent reliever, and one that won’t have to get acclimated to the Atlanta area.
