Well the offseason has officially begun and we will see decisions on a bunch of player and team options in the next five days, as well as likely a managerial hire and some roster churn. Mark Bowman seemingly reported that Pierce Johnson and Tyler Kinley’s team options would be picked up, which both seemed likely but not guaranteed, while casting a little doubt on Albies’ option, not to suggest that Ozzie is unlikely to return, however. Bowman also floated Zac Gallen as a potential free agent starter and the trade market as something to keep an eye on for a starter as well. It should be a fascinating offseason in Atlanta and we should get a lot of news in the coming days.
The World Series concluded in a fun game 7 that featured Shohei Ohtani having a shaky start, benches clearing, and more.
