Braves Strider Trade Speculation Surfaces From Beat Reporter
A credible Braves beat reporter says trading Spencer Strider is worth exploring, with Atlanta likely absorbing most of his $66M over three years.
Braves beat reporter Mark Bowman raised the possibility of Atlanta trading Spencer Strider, who is owed $66M over the next three seasons. Bowman believes the Braves would need to retain most of that salary to attract a trade partner. Any acquiring team would be betting on Strider returning to effectiveness as a starter or reliever. No formal talks or offers have been reported; this remains speculative commentary from a credible source.
