These three Atlanta Braves players would probably be on the team if the season started today, but might not survive the rest of the offseason.

With the Atlanta Braves dealing for Chris Sale, it removes them from the equation from potentially pursuing another star pitcher this offseason. Hopefully, Alex Anthopoulos' gamble pays off for them...

The Atlanta Braves still have the financial flexibility to add another starting pitcher after the Chris Sale trade. Here are a few enticing options.

The Atlanta Braves reworked the contract for newcomer Chris Sale, announcing Thursday a new $38 million, two-year deal with the left-handed pitcher acquired last weekend from the Boston Red Sox. In essence, the seven-time All Star gets an additional $10.5 million in guaranteed money without having to wait for a deferred payment, in exchange for committing to at least two seasons with the Braves rather than one. The 34-year-old Sale will make $16 million this season and $22 million in 2025.
