Let me start by saying that I love Nick Markakis and what he did for the Atlanta Braves over his four years. When the Braves made that deal it was a bit of a head-scratcher as the team started the rebuild.
But looking back, that might be one of the best free agent signings in recent memory for the Braves, and I’m so glad he got to see this team get back to the postseason.
However, I firmly believe that Nick’s day with Atlanta is done… unless he is willing to take a pay cut on a one or two year deal to be a role player.
