I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the Atlanta Braves and their organizational loyalty. On one hand, loyalty is generally a good thing. Loyalty requires commitment, and it means sticking with someone even through some hard times. It means being there to offer a helping hand when they need it, and in return, they do […]

Well, it didn’t take long after declining Tyler Kinley’s option for the Braves to go ahead and do the same thing to Pierce Johnson.
