The Atlanta Braves have made some interesting roster moves recently, returning infielder Christian Cairo to the Cleveland Guardians after a brief stint with the team. This raises some intriguing questions about the Braves' strategy and the future of their roster as we approach the regular season.
Cairo, who was a Rule 5 draft selection, had a modest showing in Spring Training with a .544 OPS. While he was seen as a potential candidate for the Opening Day roster, his performance didn't quite make the cut. This leads us to ponder: what does this say about the Braves' depth at shortstop? Are they confident in their current options, or are they still looking for a hidden gem in the minor leagues?
Moreover, with Cairo and reliever Anderson Pilar now off the 40-man roster, the Braves have three open spots. What do you think they should do with these openings? Should they look to bolster their bullpen, or is there a position player out there who could make a significant impact?
And let's not forget about Craig Kimbrel's return to Atlanta. After a decade away, what can we realistically expect from him in 2025? Is he the veteran presence the Braves need, or is this a nostalgic move that might not pay off on the field?
As we gear up for the season, what bold predictions do you have for the Braves? Will they make a surprising trade? Could they find a breakout star among their prospects? Share your thoughts and let's dive into what the future holds for the Braves!
