Photo by Casey Sykes/Getty Images Which aspects of Braves baseball are you looking forward to most this year? Two things can be true at once. The Atlanta Braves had a very disappointing offseason that included a shocking and, in my opinion, egregious decision to duck under the luxury tax instead of adding around their core in the middle of a World Series window. But, despite this, the Bra...2025

Photo by Justin Casterline/Getty Images This is a division of haves and have-nots. Last year, three AL Central teams made the postseason and four finished over .500. This was largely because they all fattened up against the awful White Sox. The Twins, Tigers, Guardians and Royals went 42-10 against the White Sox. Wow.
