From what I've heard/read, 2023 seems to be a good target year for both of them

Nice. Got to sign Freddie and make some kind of decision on Dansby. He was the overall #1 and so people naturally focus on his offense, which has gotten much better power-wise. But I’ve watched more Braves games the past 2 years than I had the last decade—kids will do that to you—and I had no idea Dansby was as great defensively as he is. I mean, he’s really, really fricking good. That, combined with his power numbers, make me scared of him hitting the open market. Some team is gonna throw some serious cash at him if he becomes a FA. And I want to keep him, but is that feasible? Do we have another SS in the farm that’ll be ready in the next couple years?

And what’s the plan with our #1 pick this year? From Clemson? Dude needs to be up next year contributing somehow. shite, I wasn’t opposed to bringing him up this September. The game has changed so much. EVERYBODY throws 97+. At least. It’s wild.
