Well, spring training is just a few days away, but the Braves still want to add a starting pitcher and fortunately, there are still a few options, headlined by Chris Bassitt and Zac Gallen. They better start signing (or trading) whoever they intend to add if they want to have them for normal spring training, with pitchers (and catchers) reporting Monday. Right now, Chris Sale, Spencer Schwellenbach and Spencer Strider are rotation locks if healthy, Grant Holmes and Reynaldo Lopez are flex options for the bullpen rotation with their own injury questions, and Hurston Waldrep, Bryce Elder, Joey Wentz and Martin Perez as legitimate rotation competitors. It would be nice to have an additional item with a little more certainty than the current options.
