3. Braves can reunite with Adam Duvall this offseason

Though it remains to be seen just how seriously the Braves were about upgrading the outfield depth at the trade deadline, it was obviously a pool that the organization ultimately didn’t end up dipping its toes into. As they look toward the 2024 season, though, that might change.

Veteran Kevin Pillar is going to be a free agent after this year. In addition, Eddie Rosario has a $9 million club option for the 2024 campaign as well. That could leave Atlanta in a position where they are looking to fortify the outfield depth again.

Subsequently, that make a reunion with former Brave Adam Duvall, something that was rumored to be on the table for Anthopoulos to do at the trade deadline, likely as his deal with the Red Sox will be up at the end of this season.

Duvall has played at least parts of five seasons in Atlanta previously and the club knows what they’d be getting. He’s a veteran with good power in his bat who won’t hit for a high average, but will provide some juice. Duvall’s also a solid defensive player as well, which could be of great value.

Even if the Braves decide to bring Rosario back into the fold in the offseason, also adding Duvall back into the mix and giving Brian Snitker a fantastic lefty/righty platoon to insert into left field could be absolutely massive to not just keep the train rolling in Atlanta, but actually make this lethal lineup even more dangerous.
