Opening the Mailbag After Braves Fest

David & Eric convene a few days after the startling attendance of 50K at Braves Fest despite the rainy weather at The Battery. It was the first time all offseason the players met with the media and it was unavoidable to resume the conversation of what went wrong last October.

They then answer listener submitted questions as Opening Day is now under two months away:

(23:00) Will AA take more risks now that he has long-term extension?
(25:10) Who would you get as a RH bat to round out the bench?  Kevin Pillar?
(29:35) How do the Dodgers affect the chances of Atlanta extending Max Fried?
(37:15) Where do Tyler Matzek and Huascar Ynoa fit into the 2024 plans?
(41:30) Will there be a different mindset in order to avoid another early playoff exit?
(44:00) What will the affect be from the new additions to the coaching staff?
(50:00) How will teams outside major markets compete given recent megadeals
