THAT TIME The Braves Rebuilt Their Outfield And Won A World Series

In 2021, the Atlanta Braves dealt with injuries, underperformance, and the unexpected: losing their franchise player for the season. With some quick maneuvering, Braves GM Alex Anthopoulos traded for a group of underperforming outfielders in Eddie Rosario, Jorge Soler, Joc Pederson, and Adam Duvall with the hopes of matching Acuña's production in the aggregate. Miraculously, all four new outfielders would make major contributions to the Braves' unlikely World Series run.

The fact that Alex Anthopoulos wasn't named the 2021 MLB Executive Of The Year is nothing short of egregious.

The braves are awful now, but that was an amazing season.

[@Bilski86]

To all those out there wondering why they’re called “world champions “ is because the mlb is the best baseball league in the world. No matter what league you refer to the mlb is the best. So when u win the World Series you are the single best baseball team not only in America. But the planet
And mlb could beat any world team

[@robertwilson8939]

no, its because it was sponsored by The World newspaper. the name stuck
