Will the rotation continue to support the bullpen by covering the necessary innings? All of those are questions we'll tackle on this episode.

    Jurickson Profar's second PED suspension is the latest setback for the Atlanta Braves

    The Atlanta Braves once again find themselves in the kind of familiar territory that would rather avoid. On Tuesday, Major League Baseball announced a 162-game suspension of Jurickson Profar after his second violation of the league’s policy on performance enhancing drugs. Grant McAuley discusses the fallout from Profar’s latest ban, how the Braves will cover for the loss in production, what effects it will have on the lineup construction, the opportunity it presents for newcomer Mike Yastrzemski and others, as well as the possibility of adding another outfielder to cover for the loss. While the Braves lose Profar for the entire season, the $15 million he was owed is now on the table to potentially help the club in a variety of ways. Could that be better spent on a starting pitcher to fortify the injury-riddled rotation. All of that and more on this edition of the show.
