Left-handed pitcher Chris Sale 2. Right-handed pitcher Reynaldo L\u00f3pez 3. RHP Spencer Schwellenbach 4. RHP Kyle Gibson 5. RHP Grant Holmes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_k2fvd71os\">Gibson would be an excellent bandage to put on the Braves rotation while Strider recovers from having internal brace surgery in Apr. 2024 to repair a damaged ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his throwing elbow.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_lk9zijkok\">Considering St. Louis isn&#8217;t concerned with being competitive in 2025, it&#8217;s best that 37-year-old Gibson signs with a club that could give him a chance to pitch in the postseason for the first time since 2023 with the Baltimore Orioles.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_bvbp333h1\">After an ill-fated 2024 season filled with injuries, the Braves are determined to reclaim the World Series title. Signing Gibson to add depth to Atlanta&#8217;s rotation would be wise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While the St. Louis Cardinals scheme ways to reduce payroll this winter, several former players are searching for new landing spots in 2025.
