You'll also hear from Kelenic, who spoke to the Atlanta media for the first time this week. He talked about his ups and downs over the course of 2023 and his three-year stint in Seattle, what he learned from the broken foot he suffered last season, and how much he looks forward to getting started with the Braves.

Meanwhile, the Shohei Ohtani sweepstakes ended where it began, with the mega-star staying in southern California and signing a record contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers after a six-year stay in Anaheim. Longtime Angels broadcaster Victor Rojas joins the show to discuss the ins and outs of Ohtani's deal, the decision points for both he and the clubs involved, and what effect this record-breaking contract and all that deferred money could have on future big-name free agents.

The Atlanta Braves extended their reign atop the National League East, clinching the division for the sixth consecutive year this week.

Now the real work begins.

Grant McAuley runs through the headlines and highlights for the week that was for Atlanta.

Kris Willis of Battery Power joins the show to size up the Atlanta pitching staff while Anthony Castrovince of MLB.com checks in to size up the Wild Card races, big pitching injuries for several clubs, and the NL MVP race between Acuña and Mookie Betts of the Dodgers.
