Braves' biggest offseason mistake was on full display in loss to Yankees

Related Topics: Atlanta Braves, Trent Grisham

You won't find many losses more brutal than the one the Atlanta Braves suffered against the Yankees on Saturday night. Things started so well with a surprisingly good outing from Joey Wentz who New York seemed to have no answer to and the offense had come alive. Thanks largely to Ozzie Albies' huge game, Atlanta had staked out an impressive 7-2 lead after five innings. Unfortunately, things went sideways after that thanks to the Braves' front office's worst miscalculation from last offseason.

Over the next four innings, the Braves's bullpen gave up 10 earned runs including the game-winning grand slam in the top of the ninth inning to Trent Grisham.
