The Houston Astros are the champions of baseball, which means the 2022 season is a wrap and it's time to gather round the Hot Stove for warmth this winter.

Grant McAuley and Cory McCartney size up the Atlanta Braves' first few moves of the offseason, with some free agent signings, a couple of trades, and a major need to fill at shortstop as Dansby Swanson is one of 14 players mulling a qualifying offer.

In addition, several Braves are up for BBWAA awards this week. Will Michael Harris II or Spencer Strider take home NL Rookie of the Year? Can Brian Snitker capture Manager of the Year against two worthy foes? Where will Max Fried place in the Cy Young voting?

All of that and a trip around the big leagues to forecast where some big name free agents could land, a discussion about Atlanta's future spending plans, and a chat about Braves legend Dale Murphy's Hall of Fame chances on the Contemporary Era ballot next month.
