The offseason may be coming to an end, but the Braves are widely rumored to still be looking to add a starting pitcher, with plenty left on the open market and some potentially available via trade. The biggest fish in free agency is Framber Valdez, and there have been some rumors surrounding him and the Warriors for months. Mark Feinsand reiterated the connection on Saturday. Valdez is in his 30s, a good pitcher, and it would cost a draft pick to sign him. Perhaps his availability later in the offseason could make the deal more team-friendly, combined with other factors, making it an easier signing for the front office to accept. If not, there are many other options.
