With their season over, it’s worth noting that a former Braves star still remains a free agent.
He did not appear in an MLB (or Minor League) game for the Cubs.

Looking At Wright’s Time With The Braves
GettyKyle Wright #30 of the Atlanta Braves delivers the pitch against the Houston Astros during the first inning in Game Four of the World Series at Truist Park on October 30, 2021 in Atlanta, Georgia.
Wright was picked in the 1st round of the 2017 MLB Draft (by the Braves) out of Vanderbilt.
He has spent all six seasons of his MLB career with the Braves.
During the 2022 season, Wright went 21-5 with a 3.19 ERA in 30 starts.

Wright was also with the Braves when they won the 2021 World Series title over the Houston Astros.
The 31-year-old has gone 24-16 with a 4.45 ERA in 60 games (51 starts).
It will be interesting to see if anyone signs Wright before the start of Spring Training.
Looking At The Braves Right Now
GettyManager Walt Weiss #22 of the Atlanta Braves walks to the dugout during the seventh inning against the Philadelphia Phillies in game three of the National League Wild Card Series at Truist Park on October 01, 2026 in Atlanta, Georgia.
The Braves had a very strong 2026 regular season where they won the National League East Division title with a 94-68 record.
So far, the move to hire Walt Weiss as their manager has looked like a smart one.
