Braves rumors: Freddy Peralta, Michael King among starters linked to Atlanta

The Atlanta Braves are reportedly exploring the starting pitcher market this offseason, with pitchers Freddy Peralta and Michael King among the names linked to the team. Jim Bowden of The Athletic reported that Atlanta has interest in Peralta, who is seen as a high-ceiling option but is expected to command a less expensive contract than top free agent Tarik Skubal. The Braves are looking to add one or two starting pitchers to strengthen their rotation heading into the next season.
