Braves News: Starting rotation breakdown, hot stove, and more.

A few days have gone by since the Atlanta Braves made a transaction, with the most recent one bringing starting pitcher Chris Sale from the Boston Red Sox. The 34-year-old will join a starting rotation composed of Max Fried, Spencer Strider, and Charlie Morton. The fifth rotation spot is undetermined, but we are still six weeks away from Spring Training. For now, let’s take a look at what we know about the Braves’ rotation following the acquisition of Sale.
