The Atlanta Braves became just the fourth team to have four Silver Slugger Award winners in the same season Thursday night. Ronald Acuña Jr. was named as a Silver Slugger winner for the second consecutive season. Freddie Freeman and Marcell Ozuna took home their second career Silver Slugger Awards while Travis d’Arnaud won the award for the first time.
We have come to expect greatness from Acuña and Freeman, but there probably hasn’t been enough said about just how good the Braves’ offseason was last year. Alex Anthopoulos brought in Ozuna on a one-year, $18 million deal to replace Josh Donaldson.
