Braves: Which Matt Adams will we get in 2020?

As our own Chase Irle reported, the Braves signed a familiar face Monday evening in 31-year-old Matt Adams. Here at SportsTalkATL, we just looked at available left-handed hitters, and Adams should fill that role rather well.

Braves Killers to watch for from the NL East

It will be as crucial as ever that the Braves come out hot from the get-go this season. And one way to do just that is knowing who your most significant threats are. Granted, we know team-wise that matchups against the LA Dodgers, Nationals, and Phillies will always be significant. However, at least in 2020,
