By now, most of Braves Country and a lot of the baseball world is at least aware of the lore from last season. After playing a calamitous baseball game on May 31 in order to lose 8-7 in extras to the Diamondbacks, the then-defending World Series Champion Atlanta Braves fell to 23-27 and had finally reached their nadir in the NL East race that year. The loss put them 10.5 games behind a Mets squad that had stormed out of the gates and while it’s now very clear that you can’t win a division by the time June rolls around, you can certainly play yourself into losing it.

Though Monday was an off day for the Braves, it still was a busy one as Atlanta made multiple moves that impacted several Braves. Michael Soroka went to Gwinnett, Roddery Munoz is the likely move to take his spot with the Braves, and AJ Smith-Shawver could be in line for his first career start this week. Plus, the Braves have a big series against the division rival Mets, with an opportunity to take an even bigger lead over New York in division. The Braves ability to hit right handers must improve in order for that to happen.
