Atlanta Braves: Patience will be key with Josh Donaldson

Already fans are starting to say that the $23 million the Atlanta Braves gave Josh Donaldson for the 2019 season is a waste of money.

The overwhelming argument on Twitter is that Johan Camargo could be doing just as good at third for a lot less money.

And those people would be right … for now.

The move to bring in Donaldson was not about replacing Camargo, it was a move to make Camargo more valuable off the bench and to give players rest.

Fans are in an uproar right now because Camargo isn’t playing a lot, but it’s the first week of the season.
