Atlanta Braves News: The Afternoon Chop, Freddie Freeman The Leader, Closer Job

Tomahawk Take Editor’s Note: It’s amazing to look at the Braves’ opening day rosters over the last few years. The only consent name you’ll see is Freddie Freeman and then Julio Teheran in the rotation. Yes, the rumors about trading these two swirled around many times, but these guys are the Braves foundation. Many didn’t think the Braves would be competitive in 2017, but with these two and the additions they’ve made this offseason, the Braves will surprise folks this year. The rebuild is behind us!!

The Braves chose well in making Freeman their indispensable player while otherwise turning over the roster like a farmer tilling the soil.
