MLB trade rumors: Atlanta Braves could land $7.6 million San Diego Padres starting pitcher to bolster rotation and improve championship odds
Atlanta faces a significant roster void and payroll flexibility after Jurickson Profar's 162-game PED suspension. This opens the door for potential low-cost additions, with free-agent pitcher Nestor Cortes emerging as a target. Cortes, recovering from arm surgery, could offer valuable left-handed pitching depth mid-season, providing a low-risk opportunity for the Braves.
