Skubal was a no brainer. He had an amazing year. I thought Wheeler might get more votes to make it closer but I'm glad Sale won as a Braves fan.

Woof, but if you got money than might as well spend it. Luxury tax be damned. Clearly a 2-3 year focus when you still have primes for Betts, Freeman and Smith. Still surprised Cole didn’t look at Dodgers being UCLA and west coast guy.

Ohtani’s prime will probably be another 20 years. The man is a freak.

Dick Allen's selection is long overdue. I wish he was around to see it.

Thoughts on this signing by my Braves? One year wonder or can Jackson do it for 3 years? We need an outfielder badly with Acuna rehabbing.
