The Atlanta Braves opted to pass on several veteran arms in free agency this past offseason—and early results have validated that decision in many cases. But there’s one lefty they may wish they had landed.
Andrew Heaney, now with the Pittsburgh Pirates, is pitching like one of the National League’s best starters through the opening month of the season. And according to Just Baseball’s Eric Treuden, the Braves may want to circle back on the veteran southpaw ahead of the trade deadline.
“Chief among [trade options], at least to this point, is left-hander Andrew Heaney,” Treuden wrote.
