If Acuna can’t play the outfield next year, we are going to have 3 expensive RH DHs.

And we also have Ozzie, who probably needs to become a DH to lengthen his career.

I think this is a sign that Kele isn’t trusted as the full time left fielder of the future. Platoon he and Solar next year.
Also, who do the Braves cut when Money returns?

This is not good bye for Matzek, only see you later.

I’d bet money he’ll be back one day.

I think it’s more of an emotional play than lack of faith in Kelenic or anything else.

This group did it in 2021. Get them back together and hopefully it will create some excitement and they will believe they can do it again.

He’s not being paid $13M to be the underexposed side of a platoon.

Soler also gets on base at a solid clip, something that is sorely lacking in this lineup. It does create an interesting log jam going forward, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

Curious to see what AA does today. Brandon Lowe is a popular name that has been thrown out there and I really like that idea. Nacho is clearly not ready yet.

I think the dynamic changes going from a bad lineup to a (at least potentially) very good one. So pitchers won't work around him like they would when he was with the Giants... but that also means he should get better pitches to hit. I know he went through a couple of pretty painful stretches this year, which is a quality we have plenty of in our hitters..
