Braves: Ronald Acuna Jr.'s strong reminder to rivals amid Shohei Ohtani-Dodgers union

The Los Angeles Dodgers made undoubtedly the biggest money move this offseason, both in a literal and figurative sense, when they agreed with superstar dual threat Shohei Ohtani on a 10-year, $700 million deal that makes the 29-year old Japanese international the owner of the biggest contract in professional sports history. But for Atlanta Braves star and reigning NL MVP Ronald Acuna Jr., he may be ready to take on the reigning AL MVP and the powerhouse Dodgers if his offseason exploits are any indication.

Acuna is not being complacent; in fact, he is continuing to compete with the offseason in full swing, working on his game by playing more baseball in his home country of Venezuela.
