With Spencer Strider out for the season, the Braves must use an all-hands-on-deck approach to replace him. Losing an ace this early in the season is one of the worst things that can happen to an organization with championship aspirations, but it also provides a golden opportunity for the younger arms. To this point, nobody
The Braves have lost three All-Stars in as many weeks, which has the national media pondering the idea of them being aggressive in the coming months prior to the trade deadline.

However, the hope is someone eventually makes the most of their opportunity and doesn’t look back, much like Bryce Elder did last season when Max Fried went down. The 24-year-old came up in
