Ep 8- Braves News, the Bullpen, and Bench

In this episode recent Braves news is discussed including Chipper Jones' take on Freddie Freeman leaving Atlanta, Acuna's time table to return, and perhaps some good news on Mike Soroka. I also break down strength of the Braves bullpen and the work that still needs to be done to bolster the bench.

Ep. 7- Improving the Starting Rotation

The Braves have a solid top three in their starting rotation in Fried, Morton, and Anderson. These guys have proven to be good enough to bring the Braves a World Series title. Plus the Braves have done much over the last several days to bolster an already strong bullpen. But there is a clear question mark regarding the last two spots in the rotation.

And how might Freddie Freeman's impending decision impact what the Braves can do to address their outfield needs?

Ep. 4- Needing a True Center Fielder

Other than resigning Freddie Freeman and moving Marcel Ozuna, finding a true center fielder who can also be a difference maker offensively should be biggest priority for the Braves this offseason. In this episode, I give you may analysis of the center field market and who I may favorite target is.
