Braves' Offseason Outlook: Moves, Injuries, and Potential Star Acquisition

The Atlanta Braves are gearing up for a busy offseason, focusing on bolstering their outfield, starting rotation, and bullpen due to injuries and free agency losses. With Ronald Acuña Jr. and Spencer Strider out for the start of the season, and Max Fried likely leaving, the Braves are expected to pursue a veteran starter and a high-leverage reliever. General Manager Alex Anthopoulos is known for creative trades rather than big free-agent signings, and the team has created payroll flexibility for potential moves. The Braves also face coaching staff changes and leadership gaps with the departure of key players.
