MLB Teams Prepare for Upcoming Free Agency

The Atlanta Braves are balancing a win-now approach with an eye on promising prospects, including a highly touted pitcher drafted recently who may not reach the Majors until 2028. Another prospect, shortstop Alvarez, had a brief debut in 2024 but showed potential in Triple-A, hinting at a return in 2025. Meanwhile, the Arizona Fall League continues to showcase talent, featuring players like Brock who have impressed with their pitching skills, while also nurturing future stars like Emerson and Salas. As the offseason approaches, the Braves face critical decisions regarding six arbitration-eligible players, including potential non-tender candidates. Additionally, former Braves prospect Kyle Muller, now with the A's, is under consideration for non-tendering after a challenging season, although he showed improvement in the latter half. The upcoming decisions for both teams will shape their rosters significantly for the next season.
