Atlanta Braves weigh budget-friendly offseason moves as payroll questions loom. Could Mike Yastrzemski and Rob Refsnyder provide the lineup depth needed for a World Series run, or do Alex Anthopoulos' spending habits hold the team back from maximizing its potential?

Jake Mastroianni breaks down four under-the-radar signings, including Zach Eflin for the rotation and Tyler Kinley for the bullpen, discussing their potential impact on Atlanta's roster flexibility and bench strength. Key topics include the Braves’ top-five MLB payroll, battles for bench spots, the risk of relying on young pitchers, and trade possibilities for improving roster depth. Listener suggestions heat up the debate over which cheap free agents or trades could fuel Atlanta’s championship ambitions.

Which bargain signings will help push the Braves past October disappointment?
