The Atlanta Braves are interested in Justin Verlander and could be a good fit for the free-agent starting pitcher, per David O'Brien of The Athletic:
David O'BrienHearing that <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Braves?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Braves</a> are among teams that have expressed interest in Justin Verlander. They have several factors that he’s reportedly seeking: contender, East Coast team, and train in Florida.
Jon Heyman of MLB Network reported Wednesday that Verlander has a home in Florida and would prefer to sign with a team that trains in Florida and is on the East Coast.
Atlanta is a contender after winning a World Series title, and the 38-year-old could help the club try to repeat as he seeks his second career championship after winning it all with the Houston Astros in 2017.
