[tejada]

BRAVES NEWSCould Atlanta go after Renfroe?The Padres shook up the baseball world on Saturday night when they took Eric Hosmer off of the “unsigned” list and signed him to a long-term contract. Hosmer moving to first base means that Wil Myers is now heading back to the outfield right field, to be exact. That where Hunter Renfroe plays and now he could potentially get traded. Jon Morosi reported on Twitter that there were teams interested and the Braves may have checked in since theye currently looking for an outfielder.Trade interest in Hunter Renfroe has picked up since Padres reached agreement with Eric Hosmer http://www.bravesteamfanstore.com/Bob-Uecker-Jersey, sources say. Braves are known to be looking for an outfielder. MLB MLBNetwork Jon Morosi (jonmorosi) February 19, 2018Braves looking to bring back Moylan (again)Back in 2015, Peter Moylan made a short-lived return to the Braves that only lasted 10.1 innings. Fortunately for Moylan, he resurfaced with the Royals in the following season and ended up giving Kansas City two solid seasons from the bullpen http://www.bravesteamfanstore.com/Eric-Oflaherty-Jersey. Now there talk that Moylan could re-unite with the Braves once again. Considering the state of the bullpen in 2017, he definitely help bring what Eric described as a “steady presence” to the bullpen for this upcoming season. Could Braves make a shock Wild Card run this season?Last season, I wrote a piece that speculated on the Braves’ chances of pulling off a miracle run. I was a bit pessimistic in noting that everything had to go the Braves way in order for a scenario to happen in 2017. While this year team isn projected to set the world on fire, it seems like a little bit less of a long shot to see this year team somehow make it to October. Anthony Castrovince of MLB gave six reasons why he believes that the Braves could end up being a surprise team in the NL for 2018.The blessing and the curse of giving opportunities to unproven players is that there legitimately no telling what youl get from them, and this brings us to the topic of the 2018 Atlanta Braves, who might have this season widest differentiation between potential ceiling and potential floor.To be clear, the floor is real. The Braves are going to give a ton of opportunity to a ton of unproven players this year, particularly in their rotation, and no one is smart enough to know how that goes.It the ceiling, though, that could make Atlanta this year surprise team in the National League.Allard tries to follow path to majors set by Steve AveryOn June 13, 1990, Steve Avery made his debut for the Braves and while he definitely took his lumps in that season, he ended up being a vital cog in Atlanta rotation for the next six years. He was 20-years old when he made that debut and if all goes well for Kolby Allard this season, he would be the same age if he can make it to the bigs before August. Mark Bowman focused on this for his latest column for the Braves’ official website.Avery totaled 319 1 3 innings, including 82 1 3 innings for Triple-A Richmond, before making his MLB debut on June 13, 1990. Allard has totaled 243 2 3 innings thus far and Soroka professional career has consisted of 330 2 3 innings.Allard and Soroka could both begin this season with Triple-A Gwinnett. They have developed a close bond as they have pushed each other throughout their respective pro careers. Their next step will be influenced by the success they have this year and the needs that develop within the Atlanta rotation, which counts two other members of MLB Pipeline Top 100 Prospects list Luiz Gohara and Max Fried among its current candidates.MLB NEWSWill Arrieta find a team in the near future?Wee finally starting to see teams make big free agent signings after basically spending the entire winter in hibernation. With that being said, there are still a few notable names left on the board and Jake Arrieta is one of them. Our friends at Bleed Cubbie Blue obviously know a lot about Arrieta and now theye openly wondering where Arrieta will land during this offseason Julio Teheran Jersey. Should New York bring Moustakas to the Bronx?Another big name who still available is Mike Moustakas. The Braves won go after him in 2018 but one team who could decide to bring in the third baseman is the Yankees. However, the crew over at Pinstripe Alley isn so sure that it would be a slam-dunk signing for the situation that New York is currently in.
