The Braves continue to pursue starting pitching, with Chris Bassitt and Lucas Giolito identified as potential targets. While neither offers high upside, they would likely require less expensive contracts, preserving the Braves’ 2026 draft capital compared to more costly options like Framber Valdez or Zac Gallen. Bassitt has been a consistent performer but will be 37, while Giolito, at 31, might still find a resurgence after a solid 2025 season. Additionally, the Twins and Rockies executed a minor trade, and Owen Murphy was recognized on ESPN’s prospect list.
