Episode Details

The Atlanta Braves are grappling with a pitching crisis, having lost their fourth starting pitcher option just before Opening Day. With teams scrambling for depth, veteran Lucas Giolito emerges as a potential target. Giolito, who posted solid numbers last season in Boston, is projected to contribute around one win above replacement. Fans and analysts see similarities between Giolito and young Braves pitcher Bryce Elder, with Giolito offering more velocity and better luck avoiding home runs. Contract talks suggest Giolito could be signed for around five to ten million dollars per year. With a lighter early schedule, the Braves may opt to patch things with marginal starters and hunt trades by June.
