Atlanta Braves news and notes from Wednesday
Well it is the arbitration filing deadline today, but the Braves don’t have many players to deal with, as they started the offseason with only six and have DFA’s a number of them. Jarred Kelenic, Eli White and probably the best player of the three, Dylan Lee are the only Braves eligible. The Braves have not tended to be afraid of going to arbitration, but keep an eye out early this afternoon (the deadline is 1pm ET, so maybe 1:15pm if we look at this front office’s history with deadlines) for any deals that may be reached ahead of arbitration.
