Alex Anthopoulos Discusses Braves’ Free Agents, Rotation, Profar

Atlanta Braves president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos addressed key offseason plans following the team's elimination by the Dodgers in the NLDS. Anthopoulos confirmed interest in discussing reunions with impending free agents, specifically praising Tyler Mahle and Mauricio Dubon. He stated that the organization is very comfortable with Dubon playing shortstop, addressing one of Atlanta's primary roster needs ahead of free agency.

Anthopoulos also discussed the pitching rotation, noting that injured starters Spencer Strider and Spencer Schwellenbach cannot be counted on as guaranteed locks for full workloads next season. Additionally, the Braves have yet to make a decision on outfielder Jurickson Profar, who is owed $15 million in the final year of his contract after serving a full-season suspension.
