I hope Kelenic starts the year on fire/nuclear. So AA will have a great option to either trade Profar or Kelenic or have Acuna DH for the rest of the year and maybe move on from Ozuna. I would be fine letting Ronald just hit for the year to save his knee. Great article.

With the way this team has dealt with injuries in the last few seasons, I'm sure Kelenic will end up playing a lot (especially if he starts off red-hot).

Well worth the risk. A player with a good eye who doesn't strikeout much. Put him near the top of that Braves lineup when it is fully healthy. What's not to like? Good article.

... and the Braves can still avoid blowing through the cap for a third straight season.

Yep, we've got another newsletter coming about the money situation, but they've got like $10M before hitting the first CBT threshold
