This offseason has been busy for Alex Anthopoulos and the Atlanta Braves as they struck quickly to upgrade their bullpen and rotation with the additions of Will Smith and Cole Hamels. While everyone will acknowledge that there is still work left to do it is as good a time as any to assess their offseason so far.
What grade would you give the Braves for their offseason so far?
Gaurav Vedak: There are still significant holes in the Braves roster, namely starting pitcher, LF/RF, and 3B. The signing of Travis D’Arnaud was significant, the restructuring of the bullpen was huge, and if Cole Hamels returns to his 2019 pre-injury form that is a huge plus for the Braves, but until the outfield is addressed, and third base is figured out I would put it right at a B.
