Braves News: Roster predictions, Braves add a catcher, more

Well the offseason continues to crawl onward, with the pace of transactions of note slowing down dramatically league-wide of late, setting international free agency aside. There are still a good number of options available both on the free agent and trade markets. Perhaps with less market momentum, the values will be better and the Braves, a team that has a major focus on value, will be able to close some deals to improve their major league squad. I am very much in the camp of adding Ha-Seong Kim, as he provides the floor (assuming health) of a good defensive shortstop with passable offense and a ceiling of a legitimate star at the position. The value on his deal may be pretty good and the Braves are in a relatively strong position to withstand his absence to start the season, as his shoulder recovers.

Ryan Helsley told reporters that he expected to be traded this offseason until being told otherwise by a team executive well into the offseason. He said he has not had meaningful extension talks with the team.

After just missing out on yet another star signing in Roki Sasaki, the Blue Jays are reportedly still looking to add to their rotation.
