Pay that Dan(sby) his money
For Braves fans, it is hard to be feeling much better than they do right now. Not only is Atlanta the defending World Series champion (still amazing to type that out), but the team is currently on quite the heater, as they have a 12-game winning streak (and counting), and will face the struggling Cubs this weekend. One of the many reasons for that run of good fortune has been the play of shortstop Dansby Swanson, who is currently 10th in all of MLB in fWAR (seventh in June). However, we are big fans of getting ahead of ourselves when it’s warranted, and Swanson’s free agency looms at the conclusion of this season. That brings us to some uncomfortable, and complex, questions.
