The offseason may be almost over, but the Braves are still widely rumored to be looking to add a starting pitcher and there are plenty left on the open market, as well as some likely available via trade. The biggest fish in free agency is Framber Valdez and there has been buzz around him and the Braves for months now. This link was reaffirmed on Saturday by Mark Feinsand. Valdez is a good pitcher reaching his 30s and would cost a draft pick to sign. Perhaps his availability this late in the offseason could result in a somewhat more team-friendly deal, combined with these other factors, making him a more palatable signing for this front office. Otherwise, many other options are available.
