Description

The Braves had every reason to become sellers when Ronald Acuna Jr. went down, but Alex Anthopoulos doubled down on the 2021 season. He joins Starkville to talk about that, submitting an offer for Aroldis Chapman on the way to his wedding, his first job in baseball and more.

Plus Jayson and Doug dive into the Atlantic League moving the mound back a foot and the Dodgers and Padres 16-inning marathon. All that plus trivia. Could the guys snap their losing streak?
