With Ronald Acuña Jr. back in action, the Atlanta Braves are hoping they are primed to finally take off in 2025. Grant McAuley discusses a busy yet disappointing week for the club, which despite getting both Acuña and Spencer Strider back, was handed back-to-back series losses by the Washington Nationals and San Diego Padres.
