Atlanta Braves: Is Austin Riley still the third baseman of the future?

There has been so much focus this offsesaon on the Atlanta Braves re-signing Josh Donaldson that almost no one has even considered the fact we may already have our third baseman of the future.

I mean, wasn't the thought process coming into 2019 that Austin Riley was the future at third base? And wasn't that still the thought after he made his debut and set the league on fire?

Are we really giving up on this 22-year-old kid after one bad (really bad) month in the big leagues?

I'll be the first to admit that I was never that high on Riley and would have traded him to the Miami Marlins for J.
