Where the Braves’ can find outfield help
Photo by Tom Pennington/Getty ImagesWhile two big outfield targets came off the board over the past 24 hours, the Atlanta Braves remain in a holding pattern. There never was much of a chance that Atlanta might have been in on George Springer, who has reportedly agreed to a six-year, $150 million deal with the Toronto Blue Jays. Michael Brantley, on the other hand, looked like a good fit, at least on the surface, but he is reportedly returning to the Astros on a two-year, $32 million deal. In both cases, the Braves may not have had any interest at those contracts’ respective lengths.
