Hector Olivera has become the 800 lb. gorilla in the room that nobody wants to talk about. He has accepted an 82-game suspension from MLB, despite court proceedings that still are a long way from being resolved.
Way back… in 2015… the Braves wanted Olivera to play third base for them. That made sense. It kinda justified the whacky trade that was engineered between the Dodgers and Braves (with the Marlins thrown in for comic relief) that had us all scratching our heads at the time.
But then the Braves discovered that he can’t actually play third base.
