There was a brief time in my life where the Atlanta Braves didn’t win the NL East every year, but that time is over now. For the second year in a row, the Braves have clinched their division, and they did it with two guys they have locked up on the cheap for the next decade. With all the money they’re saving on Ronald Acuña Jr. and Ozzie Albies, you know they’re going to fill out their roster with ringers and go on another stretch where they make the playoffs every year for at least the next 10.
