A year after imploding in a deciding Game 5 of their Division Series against St. Louis, the Braves fell short in their first NLCS since 2001 with their sixth straight loss in a winner-take-all game.
Soroka's loss is a major blow to the two-time National League East champion Braves, who had won five straight despite struggling to put together an effective rotation.
The Mets released a statement from general manager Brodie Van Wagenen in the early innings that Céspedes wasn’t at the ballpark and the team hadn’t been able to contact him.
Since there will be no fans at Braves’ home games for at least the start of the pandemic-delayed 60-game season, the team may feel no urgency to release a new policy on the chant.
The agreement helps the Braves address a depth problem in their outfield. Puig hit a combined .267 with 24 homers and 84 RBIs for Cincinnati and Cleveland in 2019.
Markakis hit .285 with nine homers and 62 RBIs in 2019, a year after he was an All-Star. He said he doesn't know how opting out could affect his hopes for playing in 2021.
The decision came a day after Snitker announced that four-time All-Star first baseman Freddie Freeman, premier reliever Will Smith and two more Atlanta players tested positive for COVID-19.
Players across the MLB reported to their team camps on Wednesday for testing and other health protocols. Today was their first day on the field to begin preparing for game action.
