The Atlanta Braves are reportedly being floated as a landing spot for one of this past season's most dominant starting pitchers, according to Sporting News, which predicts the team could ink the free agent to a $75 million deal.
The pitcher in question spent time with the New York Yankees and enters free agency as a three-time All-Star who led MLB in wins this past season, per the report. Adding him would give Atlanta a formidable one-two punch atop the rotation alongside left-hander Chris Sale.
Sporting News frames the move as part of Atlanta's push to lock down top-tier starting pitching for the long term, a priority for a franchise looking to bolster its rotation depth heading into the next season.
