Where ailing Braves can pivot with arm injuries mounting
New York Post • • sports
Key Points:
- The Braves' pitching rotation has been weakened by elbow injuries to Spencer Schwellenbach and Hurston Waldrep, prompting calls for the team to pursue free agent Lucas Giolito, who remains unexpectedly available.
- The Braves, known for generating significant profits as a publicly owned team, have the financial capacity to make impactful roster moves without excuses.
- Outfielder/DH Jurickson Profar has received his second PED suspension in two years, severely impacting the team; his lucrative $42 million contract was largely earned during a standout 2024 season with the Padres.
- Due to his first suspension, Profar was only paid half of his 2024 salary, and if his current appeal fails, he stands to receive no pay
