We’re going to shoot so many threes that […]

What does the Mike Yastrzemski signing portend?

Love it, like it, dislike it, or hate it, the Mike Yastrzemski signing is done. The Braves are now committed to a fourth outfielder for multiple years, and will potentially end up exercising his club option for 2028 given the size of the buyout ($4 million) relative to the salary ($7 million).
