Atlanta Braves Who’s Signed For 2015 And Who’s Not

facebooktwitterreddit

The Atlanta Braves have some work to do this offseason…step one, find a new General Manager.  Step two, find replacements for all the open positions within the organization.  Step three, try to rebuild this team.

Obviously the Braves have more steps than that but you get the idea.

Heading into 2015 the Braves have locked up some key players but also will need to fill in the gaps.

Unless the Braves make a trade, the entire outfield has been locked up for 2015 and most of the infield is as well.  It’s mostly the pitching staff and bench players that the Braves have to worry about.
