New Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Roki Sasaki is considered the coveted prize in this year’s international free agency pool and naturally draws all the headlines, but there are plenty of other intriguing prospects in this class.

The Atlanta Braves could look to acquire Jack Flaherty in free agency to replace Max Fried in the starting rotation.

As the clock winds down on the MLB offseason, the Braves are seen as a top landing spot for a World Series champion coming off a bounce-back year

The Atlanta Braves top free agent target could be making his decision soon. However, the Braves have multiple teams competing against them.

"On paper, the Braves starting rotation could be one of the best in baseball. However, Spencer Strider is returning from an internal brace procedure that cost him almost all of the 2024 season and won't be ready for Opening Day. Meanwhile, Chris Sale and Reynaldo López carry quite a bit of injury risk."

The prized righty pitcher was one of the most sought-after international free agents in recent memory and picked the Dodgers over a considerable list of other suitors.

The Atlanta Braves should be considered one of the favorites to land Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Jack Flaherty in free agency.

Walker Buehler has already signed with the Boston Red Sox, and Jack Flaherty could be next to go. The 29-year-old righty is projected for a four-year, $92 million contract ( The Athletic) and would profile as the Dodgers' fifth starter in the current projected rotation.

The Braves announced an intriguing roster addition on Friday in what has been a quiet offseason for the team. The Atlanta Braves claimed right-handed pitcher Amos Willingham off waivers from the Washington Nationals, the team announced on Friday. Atlanta also announced that they designated right-handed pitcher Allan Winans for assignment.

This is how it feels, anyway, and it isn't just because the Dodgers were revealed as the winners of the Rōki Sasaki sweepstakes on Friday. It is a big deal that one of the most talented pitchers on Earth is destined for Dodger Blue, but there's more going on here.

Once again, the Atlanta Braves will get a couple slots in prime time to start the 2025 season with the potential for more games later in the year

The remaining finalists have been announced and unsurprisngly, the Braves are no considered to be in the running for the incoming Japanese star pitcher
