Ronald Acuña Jr. All-Star conversation? More like NL MVP conversation

The Braves won’t have as many All-Stars as they have in year’s past. About the only one that’s a guarantee right now is Chris Sale, but Ronald Acuña Jr. is quickly entering the shoo-in category and will likely be Atlanta’s only position player to represent the team at Truist Park this year. Acuña might be as locked in as we’ve ever seen him, which is almost unexplainable, given he just returned from his second torn ACL about a month ago.

Yesterday, Alex Anthopoulos laid out the Braves trade deadline blueprint in a very candid interview with 680 The Fan. The conversation covered a number of topics, but the one crystal clear message he had for the fan base is that the team has absolutely no interest in selling. “We’re not selling,” the Braves GM said emphatically.“A month from now, we are 30 games under or something crazy, I guess I would reconsider.

Coming off one of the best wins of the season Tuesday night, as the Braves came from three runs down in the eighth to beat the first-place Mets in extra innings, Wednesday felt like another gotta have it game with Chris Sale on the bump versus the struggling Paul Blackburn. The offense appeared to get the message, with Ronald Acuña Jr. leading off the bottom half of the first by sending a ball way over the centerfield wall on the first pitch he saw.

The Atlanta Braves are among the most intriguing teams at the trade deadline. They came into the season with World Series aspirations, given the second-best odds of any team to win it all, behind only the Dodgers. They also have an aggressive general manager in Alex Anthopoulos who doesn’t know anything but buy, buy, buy.

Last week, both Jon Heyman and Jim Bowden reported the Braves don’t have any interest in selling, with Heyman saying Alex Anthopoulos is monitoring the markets for both shortstops and left field. Perhaps that changes over the next couple of weeks, as the Braves just began a stretch of 13 games in 13 days with divisional opponents, ten of which are against the Mets and Phillies.
Could Braves bring back Nacho Alvarez soon?

Prospect fatigue in baseball is a real thing. Young players get hot on the farm, become heralded as the next major-league star, and then a rough patch often leads to them being cast aside completely.

After being heralded as the next great offensive mind during last year’s hiring cycle, Zac Robinson underperformed compared to expectations in his first season with the Falcons. However, it’s not as if he was dealt the easiest deck. Quarterback controversy immediately entered the building after the Falcons drafted Michael Penix Jr. a mere weeks after handing Kirk Cousins $180 million.

Michael Penix Jr. has a chance to quickly become the face of Atlanta sports. No matter the success of the respective organizations, football is king in the south, and Falcons fans have been dying for the slightest glimmer of hope, which Penix provided them over a three game stretch to end the season.
