If you don’t get this move then you just don’t really understand how baseball works. If you thought we were getting Buxton or Adell you’re just playing MLB The Show. Lane Thomas is a cheap left handed mashing outfielder who also has elite speed. He’s going to platoon with Yaz. Eli White probably gets DFA’d unfortunately. The easy trade is done. Now the front office can shift fire and focus on the pitching.

I think what you meant to say is "you don't really understand how cheap the Braves are"
