If so, where could he land? DOB and EOF cogitate over the impact Washington has had on Atlanta, and what his potential departure could mean spell for the Braves.  Follow David on Twitter: @DOBrienATL Follow Eric on Twitter: @EOF34 Save 50% on a subscription to The Athletic by visiting: theathletic.com/755isreal Learn more about your ad choices.

FOUR, count 'em, FOUR CONSECUTIVE NL EAST CROWNS FOR THE ATLANTA BRAVES! DOB and EOF towel off from the champagne showers long enough to chat about Atlanta's remarkable streak as well as the club's sweep of the Phillies. The duo commends the Bravos coaching staff for their efforts and expertise before digging into Max Fried and Charlie Morton's molten-hot pitching, and the atmosphere at Truist Ballpark in the series finale. Jorge Soler isn't the only mid-season acquisition for Atlanta that's balled out, but his absurd power and home run prowess deserves to be discussed further. Plus, highlighting standout Braves minor leaguers, and a quick look ahead the remainder of the regular season.
