Saturday was a slow news day for the Atlanta Braves and Major League Baseball. With the deadline to protect prospects from the Rule 5 Draft now in the rear view mirror, the next important date on the offseason calendar is the non-tender deadline which is December 1. The Braves currently have 12 players who are arbitration eligible and will need to decide whether or not to tender them a contract by December 1. That day is also notable in that the current CBA will expire at 11:59 p.m. on December 1 which will likely lead to the owners locking out the players.
