The Atlanta Braves have not been quiet about their desire to add an impact starter this offseason. Having that as a desire and actually pulling it off are two very different things and as the Braves found out during their pursuit of Tatsuya Imai, a lot of teams need quality pitching and are willing to pay even for arms that are a bit of a gamble. However, the trade market could hold the answer that the Braves have been looking for even if the bidding remains fierce.
At the start of the offseason, the trade market was abuzz with the possibility that one or both of Tarik Skubal and Freddy Peralta could be traded.
