| 12/08/23 | Title favorites: Currently constructed, the Braves are obviously a championship contender. Spring training is a little more than two months away. If the Atlanta Braves run it back with a team mostly consisting of players that led the Braves to a sixth straight National League East Division championship and top record in baseball last year, that would be fine with me. If they could add the veteran starting pitcher presence that is sorely needed at this point in the offseason, that would be even better. It's all due to astute general managing from Alex Anthopolous (AA), who delivered two sensational trades with the A's that netted the team its first baseman in Matt Olson and catcher in Sean Murphy, and who also locked up the core of the team with long-term, team-friendly contracts.
