The Atlanta Braves are a team in transition.
Nine months ago, the club lost franchise staple and leader Freddie Freeman to free agency, as the first baseman signed a six-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Earlier this week, the club lost All-Star shortstop and leader Dansby Swanson, who signed a seven-year, $177 million contract with the Chicago Cubs.
Now the Braves need to find a replacement for Swanson at a critical defensive position.
Braves executive Alex Anthopolous recently appeared on MLB Network's High Heat with Christopher Russo, and was asked about how the club could replace Swanson at short.
