Atlanta Braves
Corey Kluber was born in Birmingham Alabama. Hop on I-20 east and in about 2.5 hours you’ll find yourself in Atlanta Georgia. The Atlanta Braves came on last year to win the National League East. They are a squad built on quite a bit of youth, both on the pitching staff and with their position player core.
The National League is wide open and now would be the time for them to strike. Adding Kluber to lead a rotation with Mike Foltynewicz, Sean Newcomb, Julio Teheran, Kevin Gausman and others could put them in a position to win a pennant next season before members of that core get expensive.
The Atlanta Braves could use some more offense and some bullpen help, but maybe adding an ace like Kluber can help that bullpen be better by picking up more innings. Pitching in the National League may help Kluber’s numbers moving forward as he gets older as well.
For the Indians, the Braves have the kind of farm system that could make a reload easier, with all of the pitching prospects the Braves have. Someone like Touki Toussant in a deal for Kluber, could give the Indians another young arm to add to the rotation and move forward with.
