Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said during an appearance on MLB Network Radio on Tuesday that general manager Frank Wren has talked with free agent right-hander Tim Hudson. Hudson has already drawn interest from as many as 15 teams, so the Braves are going to have plenty of competition in their efforts to retain him. The veteran right-hander wasn't given a qualifying offer by the Braves, which should make him a more attractive target around MLB.
