The Atlanta Braves are already in discussions about potential trades ahead of the Winter Meetings, with top prospect Hurston Waldrep highlighted as a candidate for a move. As the Braves have shown a willingness to trade young pitching, Waldrep's position may be precarious, especially with emerging talents like Spencer Schwellenbach and recent draft pick Cam Caminiti.

Waldrep's Major League debut in 2024 was challenging, but his Triple-A performance indicates promise. Scouts praise his fastball and splitter, suggesting he could develop into a solid starter if he improves his command. The Braves may need to make strategic trades to manage their crowded pitching pipeline.
