Dylan Cease looms as a perfect fallback plan for the Atlanta Braves after missing out on Max Scherzer in free agency, but Alex Anthopoulos might not be able to meet the San Diego Padres' asking price.

The Braves recently made a move to improve their outfield but still have a ways to go to build a World Series-caliber roster and it starts with starting pitching. Here are three names Alex Anthopoulos should consider.

While the Atlanta Braves normally have solid to great lineups installed for most games, sometimes things have gone awry to say the least the last few years.

A possible target for the Atlanta Braves in the starting pitcher market signed a contract with the Toronto Blue Jays according to MLB insider Jon Heyman.

Atlanta’s GM noted that finances aren’t restricting the Braves from making moves, and even if DOB speculates they are, Bowman and the man himself, Alex Anthopoulos, are saying something else.

Unfortunately, that pivot doesn't seem to be going all that well at the moment. Not only did Anthopoulos whiff on one of his top targets on Wednesday, but he let that target go to the team's fiercest rival. And even worse, he didn't seem to try all that hard to keep it from happening.

The Braves had a quiet winter before signing left fielder Jurickson Profar last week, a significant addition who immediately bolstered their lineup and gave them a formidable outfield when fully healthy.

A new leg kick helped make Jurickson Profar a first-time MLB All-Star at 31 with the San Diego Padres in 2024.

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.
