Braves adding Robert Suarez is an incredible sign, but there's more work to do

The relief market has been volatile this offseason, and the Atlanta Braves knew may need to pay a pretty penny to upgrade their bullpen. Pitching was always going to be a focus for Atlanta during the offseason, despite the main conversation surrounding their need for a shortstop. Atlanta was tied to a few pitchers during the Winter Meetings. One of those rumors came to fruition when it was announced that the Braves inked reliever Robert Suarez to a three-year, $45 million contract.

Plenty of rumors swirled during the recent MLB Winter Meetings, including the Braves being potential suitors in a trade for Corey Seager.
