The MLB free agency period is underway, though it might be a while before the Atlanta Braves actually get active.
It wasn’t always so. There was a time when the Braves could be counted on to sign one or two big-ticket items during the month of November on a yearly basis.
Today, we’re going to review the best free-agent signings in Atlanta history. (We’ll save the worst free-agent signings for a later date).
We’ve tried to combine both subjective and objective analysis here. We can’t just list the free agents who accumulated the most WAR with the Braves and rank them accordingly, because WAR is a counting stat and some contracts were longer than others.
