The offseason has been notably quiet as the countdown to a potential lockout continues. Many anticipated a burst of player movement before the work stoppage, but significant transactions have yet to materialize.
However, some rumors have emerged regarding the Braves' interest in starting pitchers at the trade deadline, which could shape their offseason pursuits. Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Atlanta showed some level of interest in Casey Mize and Nick Pivetta before the deadline.
In other Braves news, a quick review of Osvaldo Bido's 2026 season in Atlanta was provided.
Around MLB, a 25-year-old Taiwanese reliever is being posted by his team, making him available to sign with any major league club. Additionally, Max Scherzer has not committed to playing next season.
Key Analysis
The Braves' reported interest in Mize and Pivetta suggests they may seek rotation upgrades, though the quiet market and impending lockout create uncertainty. The posting of the Taiwanese reliever adds an international option for teams, while Scherzer's indecision leaves his future open.
