A 76-86 record and fourth-place finish in the NL East were not what the Atlanta Braves expected out of the 2025 season. In an effort to improve his team, Atlanta general manager Alex Anthopoulos would like to improve in three key areas. “Anthopoulos said securing Kim or another shortstop and adding to both the rotation and bullpen are at the top of his offseason wish list,” posted Bowman. Shortstop Ha-Seong Kim joined the Braves via waivers late in the season. When it comes to the starting rotation and bullpen, free agency will also offer plenty of opportunities.
