Audacy.com MLB Insider Tony Gwynn Jr. joined Dukes & Bell and talked about the Braves clinching their fourth straight division title and why Alex Anthopoulos deserves the credit for the team’s success this year.
When asked about the job Alex Anthopoulos has done this season.
“Alex Anthopoulos has been the unsung hero of that organization, he has really learned so much from his first stint in Toronto, to him being under Andrew Friedman in LA and he’s brought those things that he’s learned to Atlanta,” Gwynn Jr. said. “I think the moves he made at the break are indicative of that, I don’t know that those are the types of moves that he makes in Toronto but he’s certainly pushed all the right buttons.”
“This team, I got a chance to see them up close and personal when they came out here to San Diego, and the one thing I walked away with is they don’t make very many mistakes, offensively, defensively and when the other team makes a mistake, they make you pay. They got a good one-two punch at the top of the rotation and they gotta be feeling pretty good going into these playoffs.”
