Braves Interested In Adam Wainwright
4 years agoThe Atlanta Braves are interested in free-agent starting pitcher Adam Wainwright, 17 years after he pitched for current manager Brian Snitker at Double-A Greenville. The 39-year-old would provide the Braves mostly inexperienced rotation with a veteran presence. The two-time Cy Young runner-up is a free agent after 15 seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals, but he has a chance to join the team that drafted him 20 years ago. Wainwright had a 3.15 ERA in 10 starts (65 2/3 innings) during the shortened 2020 season, so he can still be effective for fantasy managers in the right matchups. The right-hander has a career 3.38 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in 15 MLB seasons and has extensive postseason experience, including two World Series championships.
