The Atlanta Braves have been predicted to pursue a former New York Mets two-time All-Star pitcher on a $15 million deal to join Chris Sale in the rotation, according to a report published Thursday.
The speculation centers on an unnamed right-handed pitcher described as a "flamethrower" who previously earned two All-Star selections with the Mets. The projected contract value stands at $15 million.
Hunter Cookston authored the prediction piece, which suggests the Braves are looking to bolster their starting pitching alongside veteran left-hander Chris Sale.
