\"AlexThe Braves quiet offseason has been well-documented, with the only notable acquisition being Jurickson Profar. Granted, the Profar signing did fill Atlanta\u2019s biggest hole. However, it was far from the only hole on the roster.<\/p>\n

The pitching staff has more questions than answers heading into the season. In Alex Anthopoulos\u2019 mind, the rotation will work itself out. Despite losing Max Fried and Charlie Morton, the Braves GM believes they\u2019ll be effectively replaced by Spencer Strider and Grant Holmes.<\/p>\n

Strider is returning from internal brace surgery and is targeting an April return. If he returns to form immediately, the loss of Max Fried will sting much less, and it\u2019s not like Charlie Morton was a frontline starter in 2024. The organization is high on Grant Holmes, and there\u2019s confidence he can be even better than Morton was last year.<\/p>\n

However, the relief core isn\u2019t as cut and dry. The Braves lost A.J Minter to free agency and Joe Jimenez to an injury. Alex Anthopoulos believes the only loss they haven\u2019t accounted for is Jimenez, which begs the question: is a move coming down the pike?<\/p>\n
