The Atlanta Braves are playing (much) improved baseball and that is always a good thing. However, it was an eventful week in an unfortunate way for the organization and, on the back of, Episode 66 of the Talking Chop podcast is here to discuss it all. Gaurav Vedak joins the show and topics include the following:
- Winning 7 out of 10 games is good. We like when that happens
- The Freddie Freeman injury... is not as good. What now?
- Hello, Matt Adams! What can we expect from the new first baseman?
- What did the Braves actually give up for Adams?
- Rio Ruiz has been freed!
- DL stints for Eric O’Flaherty and Adonis Garcia
- The Enrique Burgos trade sort of emerged from nowhere and flew under the radar
- TC’s own Scott Coleman wrote about the possibility of trading Julio Teheran and we talked about it
- Gaurav’s thoughts on the MiLB system right now and some takeaways from the early going, including the wonder that is Ronald Acuna
- The Gwinnett Braves want to change their name. That’s a thing
- Much, much more
