How will the World Champion Braves answer to the Mets signing Scherzer?

The Braves’ opposition in the NL East, the New York Mets, have signed Max Scherzer to a monster deal to add to an already dangerous looking roster. Competition in this division has gotten plenty more interesting now with the Mets building towards a run, and we are really just getting started in the hot stove season.

New York does not seem to be done while Phillies are heavy in the rumor mill as well. Eyes and ears are now on the defending champions to see how they will counter the biggest move in free agency thus far.

Braves must make a move

The Braves had a magical run in 2021, going from near-.500 at the All-Star break to hoisting the Commissioner’s trophy high over their shoulders. If they are going to repeat, there are some key holes to fill and moves to make to keep pace in a now more competitive division. Here are three players the Braves should shell out the cash for to return serve on the Mets.
