Braves eye trade for Michael King after losing Jack Flaherty to Tigers

newsweek.com — February 3, 2025, 07:00 PM UTC

The Atlanta Braves missed out on free agent Jack Flaherty, who signed with the Detroit Tigers. They are now considering a trade for Michael King from the San Diego Padres as a potential replacement. King had a strong season last year, with a 2.95 ERA and 13 wins. However, the Padres may be reluctant to trade him due to the structure of his contract and their interest in keeping him. The Braves need to secure one or two starting pitchers before the season starts, especially with injuries affecting their current roster.
