The Atlanta Braves find themselves in a precarious situation this offseason. They have a few spots to fill in some important positions. A new manager is the first item on the docket. After that, the team has to fill a gap at shortstop, retool the bullpen, and add pitching depth. Some of these spots need to be filled for multiple seasons.
Unfortunately, there is an obstacle they could run into once the current MLB Collective Bargaining Agreement expires. The CBA is set to expire on December 1, 2026. This will likely give the front office a tough time handing out long-term contracts.
