ATLANTA — The Braves’ top offseason task figured to be re-upping their shortstop. That might have changed. On Tuesday, Andy Martino of SportsNet New York reported that the chief threats to sign Jacob deGrom away from the Mets are the Rangers, who over time have thrown much money at big names — from Nolan Ryan to A-Rod to Adrian Beltre to Corey Seager — and the Braves.
Wait. The Braves?
Yep. The Braves. Maybe.
