Podcast: Insiders say Shohei Ohtani is still intrigued by the Atlanta Braves
Are the Atlanta Braves still in the race to land Shohei Ohtani?
While it doesn't seem likely, reports keep coming out that says he is intrigued by the Atlanta Braves. They have quoted his interest in being on a contender to win a World Series and also the stability surrounding the roster.
On the latest Braves Today Podcast, Ben Taylor and Lindsay Crosby jump into the conversation swirling around Ohtani and what it would take for the Atlanta Braves to pull off the move to land the MVP.
They also discuss the move that Atlanta made when they signed Andrew Velazquez to a minor league deal over the weekend. The guys discuss why it makes a lot of sense and how the Braves could benefit from a deal like this if they wanted to be more aggressive in free agency.
They also discuss Atlanta's top two pitching prospects. Both AJ Smith-Shawver and Hurston Waldrep could impact the Braves from the mound in 2024. Both pitchers offer a lot of upside and could impact Atlanta positively for years to come.
