The Atlanta Braves are checking on starting pitching talent along with the rival New York Mets. According to New York Mets on SI’s Pat Ragazzo, both teams, among others, are interested in Padres starting pitchers Dylan Cease and Michael King. The Mets are reported to have specifically spoken with the Padres.

It sounds like the Atlanta Braves are still kicking the tires on a potential trade for Dylan Cease and/or Michael King, but they are far from alone in doing so.

The Braves have another option to work with now should they choose to make a deal with the Padres this offseason

The drama surrounding the San Diego Padres may have helped the Atlanta Braves land free agent Jurickson Profar.

He ultimately landed with the Colorado Rockies only to rejoin the Padres in August 2023 after he was released.

Jurickson Profar agreed to a $42 million, three-year contract with the Atlanta Braves, less than a year after the outfielder got a $1 million deal from the San Diego Padres with spring training already underway.

As the MLB offseason continues, the Braves have signed free agent outfielder and former Padre Jurickson Profar to a deal.

While we await to see if the Braves will make a big trade ahead of Spring Training, let's look back at some all-time moves

Relief pitcher Jesse Chavez has inked a minor league deal with the Texas Rangers. We have seen this movie before.

While the Jurickson Profar signing filled the Braves single biggest need in the outfield, there are still holes to patch up. I’d argue the bullpen should take precedence over the rotation.
