The Atlanta Braves have some work to do this offseason to convince fans they are serious about becoming a top-five payroll in baseball. That will require them to add in a few different areas to accomplish that.
One of those areas is starting pitching, which was a nightmare for Atlanta in 2025. Their lack of depth was exposed very quickly after every member of the starting rotation landed on the IL at some point. They'll surely want to avoid that next season. As of right now, the starting rotation would consist of Chris Sale, Spencer Strider, and Reynaldo Lopez.
