Atlanta Braves: signing Will Smith is just the start

What the Atlanta Braves did yesterday is so uncharacteristic it has me thinking this offseason is going to be wild for Alex Anthopoulos and company.

It has been seven years since the Braves spent money and multiple years on a free agent like they did on Thursday.

They sacrificed a draft pick for the privilege, too.

This is a sign that Anthopoulos is going all in; with the window of contending for a championship being wide open.

Now, I understand the Braves made an early splash last season when they signed Josh Donaldson and then mostly sat on their hands the rest of the offseason.
