Wednesday evening, the Los Angeles Angels signed Anthony Rendon to a seven-year, $245 million deal. Now, with a ton of teams still seeking help at the hot corner, the market has shifted to free agent, Josh Donaldson. Just a year after settling for a one-year deal, Donaldson is all but guaranteed a $100 million payday.
Jesse Rogers of ESPN released an article this morning explaining why the Braves are a perfect fit for Kris Bryant with Anthony Rendon off the market. Following the decision by Washington’s star third baseman to head west, Rogers understandably questions if Atlanta will change their tune and hand out a long-term contract, which is what

With the Braves non-tendering Charlie Culberson, and the MLB expanding rosters to 26 men, Alex Anthopoulos has stumbled across another need: finding a bench bat for the infield. Johan Camargo is a quality, versatile piece, but they will have the luxury of adding another player. With Austin Riley, Adam Duvall, and Camargo capable of playing
Losing fan-favorite Charlie Clutch is a tough pill for die-hard Braves fans to swallow. Along with his timely hitting and ability to play every position, Culberson was a class act above all, but it is a business and its time to move forward. With the MLB expanding rosters to 26 men and 13 maximum pitchers,
Point Guard: Trae Young This list boils down to talent for me. Trae Young will have only spent a year and a half of his career in the 2010s, but he is by far the most talented player the Hawks have had since Dominique Wilkins. By default, he receives the nod over the likes of
In 2018, the talk of the MLB was youngsters Ronald Acuna Jr. and Juan Soto, two generational talents who went head to head in the NL Rookie of the Year race. The two were not even close to being able to consume an alcoholic beverage legally, yet emerged as a couple of the best players
