The Braves made an offer to left-handed reliever Will Ohman, a free agent after going 4-1 with a 3.68 ERA in 83 appearances (second-most in the majors) for the Braves and limiting lefty hitters to a .200 average. “It was a real offer, an offer intended to make me feel like they wanted me back,” said Ohman, who has received interest from at least 10 teams and expects to make a decision in December.
