This offseason has been full of fascinating transactions, from Shohei Ohtani‘s record-breaking contract to Juan Soto‘s trade to the New York Yankees.
The Royals have been one of the game’s most active teams this winter but don’t appear done with their offseason just yet.
No need for an arbiter this year. The Royals agreed to terms with pitchers Nick Anderson, Carlos Hernández, Brady Singer, and Kyle Wright, avoiding arbitration with all their remaining eligible players.
The Braves made a couple of shocking trades this offseason, both centering around fan-favorite pitchers — Michael Soroka and Kyle Wright. Soroka was moved to Chicago along with Jared Shuster, Nicky Lopez, Braden Shewmake, and Riley Gowens in exchange for the White Sox’s Aaron Bummer.
The Braves shocked the baseball world when they dealt Kyle Wright to the Kansas City Royals ahead of the non-tender deadline. Wright was set to miss the 2024 season after undergoing shoulder surgery, but he was still under contract through 2026 and was projected to earn less than $2 million in arbitration.
A troubling shoulder injury led to a lost 2023 (and 2024). Coming off a breakout 2022 season in which Kyle Wright threw himself into the big league spotlight with a nearly 3 fWAR season, expectations were high for the talented righty.
To this point, the most shocking move of the offseason was the Braves decision to trade Kyle Wright to the Royals. A 21-game winner in 2022 that also delivered one of the most memorable postseason starts for the Braves in recent memory, Wright battled shoulder injuries in 2023 and was eventually shut down for the season.

Braves Country had the opportunity to watch Michael Soroka and Kyle Wright grow up in front of their very eyes.

Late last night, the Braves completed another trade, sending star pitcher Kyle Wright to the Royals in exchange for right-handed pitcher Jackson Kowar.

Atlanta Braves news and notes from Friday The Atlanta Braves announced Friday that starting pitcher Kyle Wright underwent successful shoulder surgery on Wednesday, October 11.
Atlanta Braves right-hander Kyle Wright is recovering from surgery to repair a torn capsule in his throwing shoulder and is expected to miss the 2024 season, the team said Friday.

The Atlanta Braves will face the Philadelphia Phillies in the National League Division Series without right-hander Kyle Wright. The Braves put Wright, 28, on the 60-day injured list with a right shoulder strain Saturday and recalled left-hander Max Fried and right-hander Daysbel Hernandez from the 15- and 60-day injured lists, respectively.
Wright has not yet earned a spot on the Braves’ postseason roster. After such a difficult season, he’ll need more than one solid relief appearance to demonstrate he’s ready for October.

Braves starter Kyle Wright is expected to land on the injured list due to a right shoulder issue which forced him out of action during Wednesday's trip to the mound.
After posting a 3.19 ERA with 21 wins, Kyle Wright is finally healthy, he says. The Braves starter burst onto the scene in 2022 and even performed in the postseason, throwing six scoreless innings in a Game 2 win over the Phillies during the NLDS.
