Description

The Big Bear returns! DOB and EOF react to Atlanta re-upping with Edgar Martinez Award winner, Marcell Ozuna. Why did Alex Anthopoulos and company wait to re-sign Ozuna? With the universal designated hitter rule pending, is Ozuna worth his contract? Did Atlanta's inclusive, welcoming culture, and Ozuna's vibrant personality, play a part in the deal (1:00)? The two skim over other players the Braves expressed interest in (43:30) before discussing Anthopoulos' comments about Ozuna. Aside from the obvious (Freddie Freeman), which other Braves player is due for a payday (50:00)? On the topic of money, wouldn't it have been easy for Atlanta to cite their financial shortcomings as a reason not to invest in the club? Yes. But, you know what? They didn't (1:00:00). Chipper Jones' addition to Atlanta's coaching staff is a colossal get (1:13:00). Lastly, the guys take a deep dive into MLB's health protocols (1:22:00).
