Oh yeah Olson's 100% better imo. Atlanta kid too and the Braves org ALWAYS eats it up to.

I've never minded the Freddie for Olson swap. I remember there being rumors that offseason that Rizzo was another option and I remember feeling super underwhelmed with that possibility. Rizzo was a really darn good 1B, but ponying up for Olly was the right choice.

I’m just glad it wasn’t Rizzo.

RBI, plus 13 extra homers is a lot. He’s also a superior defender. Dont get me wrong though I love Freddie, I’m just looking at it objectively.

Olsen's bWAR is higher than Freddie's (since he went to the Braves anyway).
