No baseball GM has ever said they had too much pitching in their organization. Even the mighty L.A. Dodgers made it a point to acquire as many pitchers as possible heading into 2025. That strategy paid off for Los Angeles, as they successfully navigated the marathon regular season and entered October with numerous impact arms healthy.
Learning from recent success is important in baseball, but perhaps even more important is the ability to learn from past failures. The Atlanta Braves have a clear need for starting pitching on their roster, and a previous mistake could serve as an important reminder of why no team can ever truly have enough quality arms.
