If Atlanta Braves’ free agents walk, these should be their targets

The Atlanta Braves are going to let their free agents go. They will sell their jerseys and look for new players on the free agent market.  Dansby Swanson, Kenley Jansen, Adam Duvall, Robbie Grossman, Luke Jackson, Jesse Chavez, Darren O'Day, and Jake Odorizzi will opt out of their contracts.

Atlanta Braves are looking for a shortstop.

Trea Turner and Carlos Correa are the top two free agents for Atlanta Braves. Turner is a combination of speed, power and average. Corrai is projected at eight years, $253 million for an AAV of $31.7 million. He is also the second highest fWAR player in the game. He played for the Los Angeles Dodgers for two years. The Braves offered him around $100 million during the season. They have never paid a player more than $23 million in a single season and they have a lot of young talent.

The Braves have already spent a lot on Matt Olson and Austin Riley. Turner is a better option. He would slot into the top of the lineup and play against the right-handed hitters.

José Iglesias is available on the free agent market. He's coming off a season in which he slashed .292/.328/.380 with 85 wRC+ and a 1.0 fWAR. Igelsias has been exceptional with the glove and is sixth among all shortstops in Defensive Runs Above Average (29.9). Iglsias' estimated market value is $5 million.

Jacob deGrom is a free agent. Justin Verlander is going to be 40 years old and has a player option for 2023 with the Houston Astros. If Atlanta Braves want to sign a pitcher, they should look for Verler. The addition of Verner would give the Braves arguably the best rotation in the game.

The Atlanta Braves are looking for a starter. Tyler Anderson is a good option. He is coming off a 4.0 fWAR and 2.57 ERA with the Dodgers. The 32-year-old left-hander is projected to net a three-years, $40 million deal.

Eddie Rosario's 2018 season was a lost season. He played 63 games, hit .212/.259/.328 and had his highest strikeout rate since 2016. The 31-year-old is under contract through 2023 at $9 million with a club option at that rate for 2024. Joc Pederson is a free agent with an expected four-years-long contract worth $58 million.

Andrew Benintendi is a little higher on the AAVA scale than Pederson. He is projected at $17.3 million AVA on a six-year, $104 million deal. The New York Yankees acquired him from Kansas City at the trade deadline.

Craig Kimbrel was left off the Dodgers' postseason roster. Kim brit had a 3.75 ERA and 27.7 strikeout rate over 63 games with 22 saves. Tyler Matzek is out for the season with Tommy John surgery. Raisel Iglesias could fill the ninth-inning role.

Andrew Chafin had a 2.83 ERA and 67 strikeouts to 19 walks in 57 1/3 innings for the Detroit Tigers last season. He has a high whiff rate and a chase rate that's up 5.5 percent year over year.
