The Story in 60 Seconds

MLB Trade Rumors has predicted that free-agent shortstop Mauricio Dubon will re-sign with the Atlanta Braves this offseason. All three analysts participating in MLBTR's annual free agent rankings and predictions projected Dubon to return to Atlanta. The writer notes that the projection is based on team fit, positional need, and mutual interest rather than insider sourcing on active negotiations.
