As baseball fans, we get attached to players that have played roles during important times for our fandoms. For Atlanta Braves fans, it explains why it was so hard to watch Freddie Freeman, Dansby Swanson, and Max Fried leave. Hell, Tyler Matzek may never have to pay for drinks again in Atlanta despite leaving the organization in 2024. For another Braves fan favorite, the upcoming Winter Meetings may be one last final test to see if he can prolong what has been a tremendous player-team partnership.
If you ask any Braves fan, they will tell you they love Ozzie Albies.
