There should be ballads written about Willson Contreras' brief time with the Cardinals. From his arrival as the All-Star eager for the challenge of following Yadier Molina, to that weird week when he took fly balls in left field and stopped catching, to the injuries and fractures and ultimately his move to first base, out from behind home plate without skipping a beat at the plate. Contreras brought both joy and fury to the Cardinals' lineup and clubhouse, and at some point his absence will be felt by the teammates who remain. But he won't be a alone. In a brand new Best Podcast in Baseball, recorded on Christmas Eve, Post-Dispatch editor Nathan Mills and baseball writer Derrick Goold discuss the Cardinals' counterintuitive shopping list for the holidays and what is missing from it and possibly from the clubhouse during his reboot of an organization. The Cardinals traded a starter (Sonny Gray) only to sign a starter (Dustin May) a few weeks later; they traded a right-handed bat from the middle of the order (Contreras) only to suggest a few hours later that they would now look for a right-handed bat to add to the roster. The Cardinals are swapping All-Stars for pitching depth and then looking to replace those veterans with players on shorter-term deals or with more control and less cost. What's missing from those moves is the leadership and experience that the Cardinals have long championed as part of their continuity, as part of their identity as a club. And more trades ahead could mean the departure of Brendan Donovan, who personifies the way the Cardinals like to play and be in the clubhouse; JoJo Romreo, the seasoned reliever in the bullpen; and Nolan Arenado, the future Hall of Famer and Gold Glove-cornerstone at third. Mills and Goold discuss what happens when a young group of players isn't inheriting expectations but tasked with trying to grow them. More Post-Dispatch podcasts. Please consider subscribing. In its 13th season as one of the first and most widely heard podcasts on baseball and the Cardinals, the Best Podcast in Baseball has reached a new season-high with 30 episodes.

The Cincinnati Reds could be one bold move away from becoming serious contenders, and a potential trade for Luis Robert Jr. might be exactly what they need. In this video, we break down the idea of the Reds trading for Luis Robert, what it would cost, and how he could instantly change the outlook of Cincinnati's lineup. Luis Robert is one of the most dynamic players in Major League Baseball, combining elite power, speed, and Gold Glove–caliber defense in center field. With the Chicago White Sox possibly entering a retooling phase, trade rumors are heating up around Robert, and the Cincinnati Reds are a team that makes a lot of sense as a potential landing spot. But would the Reds be willing to part with top prospects or young MLB talent to make this deal happen? We'll analyze how Luis Robert would fit into the Reds' roster, how he complements stars like Elly De La Cruz and Matt McLain, and whether Cincinnati's farm system gives them enough ammunition to pull off a blockbuster trade. We'll also discuss contract details, injury concerns, and the overall risk vs. reward of making such a high-profile move. If the Reds are serious about competing in the NL Central and making a deep playoff run, trading for a superstar like Luis Robert could be a franchise-altering decision. Is this the right time for Cincinnati to go all-in, or should they stay patient with their young core? Let us know your thoughts in the comments: Should the Cincinnati Reds trade for Luis Robert?

In this high-energy segment, Marc "Moose" Malusis tackles a wave of frustrated Mets callers who are skeptical of David Stearns' latest roster overhaul—specifically the acquisition of veteran second baseman Marcus Semien. While fans point to Semien's age and recent batting average dip, Moose urges the "Orange and Blue" faithful to look at the bigger picture. He challenges the notion that the previous core (Alonso, McNeil, Nimmo) was "getting it done," reminding listeners that "the painting is not finished yet." From debating Semien's Gold Glove defense to calling out the "leaky ship" culture in the front office, Malusis delivers a passionate defense of a front office trying to break the cycle of insanity in Queens.
===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for December 19th Publish Date: December 19th Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Friday, December 19th and Happy Birthday to Al Kaline I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal South Cobb mayors speak on accomplishments, future Jaha Howard wins runoff for Georgia Senate District 35 Cobb County staff trade desk work for Christmas carols Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on saturated fats As well as Shane Delancey the Director of the Christmas Tradition at the Strand Theatre All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Now here is Shane Delancey the Director of the Christmas Tradition at the Strand Theatre BREAK: THE STRAND STORY 1: South Cobb mayors speak on accomplishments, future Three mayors, three cities, and a lot to reflect on. Austell Mayor Ollie Clemons, Mableton Mayor Michael Owens, and Powder Springs Mayor Al Thurman gathered at the Riverside EpiCenter to talk about 2025 wins and what’s next for 2026 during the State of South Cobb event. Clemons? He’s proud of Austell’s bold move to raise the millage rate for the first time in decades. “It’s about reinvesting in our community,” he said, pointing to plans for downtown revitalization and hiring a city manager—finally. Owens celebrated Mableton’s new departments and leadership team, calling 2025 a year of “building the foundation.” Next year? It’s all about community engagement and growth. Thurman highlighted Powder Springs’ shiny new city hall and parking garage, plus job-creating developments. His focus for 2026? Sustainable growth and leaving a legacy of leadership. STORY 2: Jaha Howard wins runoff for Georgia Senate District 35 Jaha Howard pulled off a narrow win Tuesday night, defeating fellow Democrat Roger Bruce in the runoff for state Senate District 35. Unofficial results show Howard, a dentist and former Cobb school board member, edging out Bruce with 51.9% of the vote to Bruce’s 48.1%. The seat, which covers parts of Cobb and Fulton counties, was left open when Jason Esteves stepped down to run for governor. Howard credited his win to personal outreach—hundreds of phone calls, he said, to build trust. “People want to feel heard,” he said. Bruce’s campaign struggled with name recognition, especially in Cobb. STORY 3: Cobb County staff trade desk work for Christmas carols Glover Park got a dose of holiday magic Tuesday, thanks to Cobb County’s newest choir, “Cobb County Sonic Sound” (or, as they like to call themselves, “CoCo SoSo”). Led by Dr. Jatunn Gibson, head of the county’s Public Services Agency, the group—decked out in festive sweaters and holiday flair—belted out classics like “Joy to the World” and “White Christmas.” Oh, and they’ve got their own band too, all county employees. Between songs, they performed skits about elves saving Christmas. “It’s all about fun and camaraderie,” said Grace Williams, a choir member. “We’re connecting beyond work—and it’s a blast.” We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info. We’ll be right back. Break: Villa Rica Wonderland Train STORY 4: Jason Gaines named Mableton Citizen of the Year Jason Gaines didn’t see it coming. This week, he was named the 2025 Mableton Citizen of the Year at the South Cobb Area Council meeting, and the surprise left him, well, a little speechless. “It just warms my heart,” Gaines said. “To know the work I’ve done is appreciated like this—it’s humbling.” Gaines, who’s the director of planning at Croy Engineering and chairs the Mableton Development Authority Board, was honored by Mayor Michael Owens. “Jason’s been a force,” Owens said. “His expertise and passion have shaped this community at such a critical time.” The guy’s résumé? Stacked. Leadership programs, board memberships—he’s everywhere. STORY 5: Anderson steps down as Walker football coach TJ Anderson pulled off something close to miraculous in 2025. With just 23 players—yes, 23—he guided Walker through a grueling 10-game season. The Wolverines finished 2-8, but they still earned a spot in the Class A-AAA Private state playoffs. Unfortunately, injuries piled up, and the team had to decline the bid. “We had to make the best decision for our kids,” Anderson said, reflecting on the tough call. But that season? It was his last. Anderson announced on X that he’s stepping down as Walker’s head coach after three years. “It’s been a journey,” he wrote, thanking the community and his family. BRAVES: Ha-Seong Kim is staying put in Atlanta—at least for another year. The 30-year-old shortstop signed a one-year, $20 million deal with the Braves on Monday, locking him in as the team’s starter for 2026. Not bad, considering he turned down a $16 million option just last month and walked away with an extra $4 million. Kim joined the Braves late last season, claimed off waivers from Tampa Bay on Sept. 1. He made an immediate impact, hitting .309 with a .372 OBP, three homers, and 12 RBIs in his first 19 games. Sure, he cooled off at the end—1-for-19 in the last five games—but the Braves clearly see his potential. Kim’s journey hasn’t been without bumps. Injuries sidelined him for much of 2025 with the Rays, where he hit just .214 in 24 games. But let’s not forget—this guy won a Gold Glove with the Padres in 2023 and has 84 career stolen bases. The Braves are betting on a bounce-back. And if Kim can channel his San Diego form, he could be a 3-4 WAR player. High hopes, but hey, the talent’s there. I'm Keith Ippolito and that’s your MDJ Sports Minute. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on saturated fats We’ll have closing comments after this.

CTL Script/ Top Stories of December 19th Publish Date: December 19th Pre-Roll: From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast Today is Friday, December 19th and Happy Birthday to Al Kaline I’m Chris Culwell and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Times Journal Sawnee EMC announces a balanced rate approach for 2026 Northside Hospital Cherokee named one of the best in U.S. for maternity care School board honors retiring Chief of Staff Mike McGowan Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on saturated fats As well as Shane Delancey the Director of the Christmas Tradition at the Strand Theatre We’ll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you’re looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Here is Shane Delancey the Director of the Christmas Tradition at the Strand Theatre Commercial: THE STRAND STORY 1: Sawnee EMC announces a balanced rate approach for 2026 Sawnee EMC has some good news for its members heading into 2026—most will see their monthly bills drop slightly in January compared to December. It’s not a huge change, but hey, every little bit helps, right? Here’s the deal: the Board of Directors voted to lower the Wholesale Power Cost Adjustment (WPCA) by $4.72 per month for accounts using 1,500 kWh. At the same time, they approved small increases to base charges—about $2 to $3 per month. The net result? A $2 monthly savings for most members using 1,500 kWh. For those using less energy, the savings will be smaller, but still there. Sawnee says it’s committed to keeping rates affordable and only making changes when absolutely necessary. Serving over 203,000 accounts across seven counties in north Georgia, they also offer energy-saving tips, rebates, and incentives to help members cut costs. Questions? Call 770-887-2363 or visit www.sawnee.coop. STORY 2: Northside Hospital Cherokee named one of the best in U.S. for maternity care Northside Hospital Cherokee just snagged a big honor—it’s been named one of the nation’s top hospitals for maternity care by U.S. News & World Report. The “High Performing” rating puts it in the top 10% for uncomplicated pregnancies, making it one of only seven hospitals in Georgia to earn the distinction. Last year, nearly 3,000 babies were born at the Canton hospital, which also holds a Level III maternal care verification. Christina Roberts, director of women’s services, called the recognition a testament to their “high-quality, compassionate care.” Oh, and it’s not just maternity—Northside Cherokee also excels in 15 other areas, from cancer surgeries to heart failure care. STORY 3: School board honors retiring Chief of Staff Mike McGowan After nearly 30 years with the Cherokee County School District, Mike McGowan is hanging up his hat—and the farewell was as heartfelt as you’d expect for someone who’s been a cornerstone of the district. At his final school board meeting last week, McGowan, CCSD’s first-ever chief of staff, was showered with gratitude, stories, and a few tears. Here is Superintendent Mary Elizabeth Davis and several school board members thanking McGowan for his service to CCSD. VO CLIPS From “hall monitor” to “everybody’s best friend,” McGowan’s legacy is clear: he made things better—for students, staff, and the entire community.

Break: Ingles Markets 8 STORY 4: Names approved for new Cherokee High School athletic facilities Tommy Baker Field isn’t going anywhere—at least in name. Cherokee County’s school board made it official on Dec. 11: the new Cherokee High School’s football field will still be called Tommy Baker Field, while the stadium itself gets a fresh name, Warrior Stadium. For Cherokee’s athletic director Jeremy Adams, keeping the name alive wasn’t up for debate. The original Tommy Baker Field, home to the Warriors for 70 seasons, was named in 1958 after Tommy Baker, a student who passed away tragically in 1957. His legacy? Still strong. BRAVES: Ha-Seong Kim is staying put in Atlanta—at least for another year.

I’m Keith Ippolito and this is your tribune ledger sports minute. STORY 5: Tanner Place in Canton will soon welcome its first residents Come January 1, the first families will finally move into Tanner Place, a long-awaited affordable housing community in Canton. The ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday wasn’t just about opening doors—it was about honoring a legacy. Pat Tanner, the neighborhood’s namesake and a former Canton City Council member, stood alongside her 98-year-old mother, Ozella Tanner, as she cut the ribbon. “This is humbling,” Tanner said, her voice full of emotion. “We knew this city needed safe, decent housing, and today, we’ve made that happen.” Tanner Place replaces 39 old units with 70 new ones, funded through state tax credits, HUD vouchers, and local contributions. Mayor Bill Grant called it “money well spent,” noting it’s the first new public housing in Canton in over 50 years. CHA Director Jacquelyn Loberg said 18 units are ready now, with more to follow in January. This project is just the beginning—next up, the redevelopment of Oakside Drive.

BT & Sal make a forceful argument that Gold Glove-winning infielder Nico Hoerner is the perfect "scrappy" trade target to fix the Yankees' contact-starved lineup. The guys highlight Hoerner's elite profile: a .297 average, a .345 OBP, nearly 30 stolen bases, and a staggeringly low 7.6% strikeout rate last year. They compare him to a high-risk/high-reward player like Jazz Chisholm, arguing Hoerner provides the consistency and defense the Yankees desperately need. The conversation then pivots to the Mets' hot stove, with a listener proposing a radical overhaul that includes trading Pete Alonso, securing top pitching prospect Jackson Jobe in a trade for Elias Díaz (who just signed with the Dodgers), and acquiring Cody Bellinger and Japanese Gold Glove first baseman Shugo Maki. Sal agrees with the defensive shift but insists the Mets would need to land Tarik Skubal or an equivalent top-tier starter to make the complete teardown worthwhile.
BT & Sal unleash on the current state of New York baseball's offseasons, focusing heavily on the Mets' disarray. Sal rips Edwin Diaz for his "baby" behavior, reportedly leaving the Mets due to being upset they signed Devin Williams without consulting him. The hosts debate if GM David Stearns is showing "flimsy" conviction by holding a hard line on a three-year deal for Pete Alonso despite the growing fan backlash. They question where the Mets will find a replacement power bat if Alonso walks, liking the idea of trading for Peralta and McGill combined with signing Bellinger and Okamoto for a fundamentally different, defense-first team. The discussion pivots to the Yankees, criticizing GM Brian Cashman for his lack of action. Sal pitches Nico Hoerner as the perfect scrappy, contact-hitting, Gold Glove infielder (with elite stolen base numbers) that the Yankees desperately need to replace the inconsistency of players like Jazz Chisholm
BT & Sal unleash on the abysmal state of the New York baseball offseason, which is set on fire by BREAKING NEWS: Pete Alonso signs a 5-year, $155M deal with the Baltimore Orioles! Sal defends David Stearns' conviction on player valuation, arguing the "unsuccessful core" needed a "wrecking ball," while a furious Hof calls the GM a "moron" for letting the face of the franchise walk. The hosts question whether the Mets fanbase can "trust the process" after losing both Alonso and Edwin Diaz. The conversation pivots to the Yankees' inaction, where Sal pitches Nico Hoerner as the perfect, contact-hitting Gold Glove infielder to cure their strikeout woes. They also break down the massive hurdles—ownership approval and a huge extension—stalling the blockbuster Tarik Skubal to Dodgers trade. Finally, the hosts dive into the dark side, tallying all of Tony Soprano's personal kills, then shift to lighter fare, debating cocktail attire for Alex Rodriguez's holiday party and whether the former Yankee deserves a spot in Monument Park.
BT & Sal are fired up by Mets President of Baseball Operations David Stearns' press conference after trading fan-favorite Brandon Nimmo to the Rangers for Gold Glove second baseman Marcus Semien. Sal hails the move as "perfect," arguing that Stearns correctly shed emotion to make a "tough decision" that separates "the men from the boys." The hosts discuss the four-fold flexibility this trade provides, especially clearing the outfield for young prospects and securing an elite defensive infielder who is a certified "dirt dog" and a "winner." They dissect Stearns' honest assessment of Semien's declining bat and his emphasis on the player's intangibles, speed, and defense. Finally, BT highlights this as Stearns' first true "stamp" on the roster, breaking away from the previous regime's core and making a crucial move toward "sustainable championship caliber play."
BT & Sal launch into a passionate defense of the Mets' bold decision to trade Brandon Nimmo to the Rangers for Marcus Semien. They argue that despite Nimmo's high character, the move was a necessary, "emotionless decision" to break up a non-winning core, upgrade the defense with the Gold Glove Semien at second base, and free up a position to acquire a better offensive outfielder (like Bellinger or Tucker). Sal argues the trade makes a Pete Alonso extension a necessity, as the Mets cannot afford to lose two major bats. They also preview the big Thanksgiving Day Football slate, focusing on the highly anticipated Chiefs vs. Cowboys matchup, and discuss their reactions to the Alex Rodriguez documentary, with Tierney expressing a soft spot for the flawed former Yankee star.
Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos met with the media to break down a major day of roster moves — re-signing All-Star closer Raisel Iglesias and pulling off a trade that sends shortstop Nick Allen to Houston in exchange for two-time Gold Glove utility man Mauricio Dubón. AA details why Iglesias remains a core piece of Atlanta’s bullpen, how Dubón’s versatility fits perfectly into the Braves’ lineup construction, and what the front office still plans to address this offseason.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Seth & Sean get ready for the Texans taking on the Bills in a pivotal Thursday Night Football Matchup. Plus, they react to the news of the Houston Astros trading Mauricio Dubon to the Atlanta Braves for Nick Allen. Also, HEADLINES. Seth & Sean then look back at the history of the Texans going up against the Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen. They then hit the Circle of SWARM! Then they have even more reactions to Bill Belichick. The guys hear from Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermont, OC Joe Brady, and QB Josh Allen on the Texans defense. Later, the guys go through the reasons they HATE the Buffalo Bills. Additionally, they read Tom Pelissero's hot list of head coaching candidates. As the show wraps up, Seth & Sean react to some NFL Network score predictions for tonight's Texans-Bills game and revisit DeMeco and Mills talking what they need to do. Plus, they continue their reaction to the Astros trading Gold Glove utility player and fan favorite Mauricio Dubon. And before signing off, they take one final look at the Texans-Bills.

BT & Sal kick off the segment with a fiery, yet hilarious, linguistics lesson on the pronunciation of "sword," with BT's preferred "sword**"** (or "sword") sparking a comical debate about intellect and high-quality literature. The main discussion shifts to potential Yankees trade targets. The hosts dismantle a trade proposal for Ketel Marte, questioning the high asking price and his history of taking days off. The focus then turns to the "perfect fit": Steven Kwan. Sal argues that the elite, contact-hitting, Gold Glove left fielder is the ideal leadoff hitter the Yankees desperately need, contrasting him with the "analytics war" being waged by Boone and Cashman. Finally, they weigh the risks of signing free agent pitcher Michael King and debate if small, smart moves can round out the roster.

Here we go into hot stove! And the one of us who is not a teacher by trade provides the vocabulary lesson. Stick with us and qualifying offers, arbitration, and super 2s will not confuse you. Congrats to Patti's center fielders, PCA and Cedanne, for their Gold Glove wins, and to Pottymouth's catcher Patrick Bailey for his. Pottymouth is accountable with her accounting – she came through with donations to excellent organizations doing good work to balance out guys who have done horrible things off the field helping her favorite team win on the field. Other good works in baseball? Dodgers fans supporting a Toronto children's hospital, inspired by Toronto fans supporting a Seattle hospital. Maybe the LAD supporting the California Community Foundation's LA Neighbors Fund? Maybe not? And the folks urging LAD to take an intentional walk right on past the White House instead of stopping by for a World Series visit. Sign their petition. The police blotter is long, covering Clase and Ortiz's gambling/fixing pitches indictments, Prince Harry's completely unnecessary apology to Canada (no kings, anybody?), the Fascist-in-Chief's pardoning of Daryl Strawberry for things he himself embraces so how can they be wrong, and Harper not actually sleeping with the fishes. Winter ball news includes Javy not only playing for LBPRC but also buying a AA semi-pro team, and the league rebranding in a way that makes Patti think she knows more Spanish than she actually does (El rebranding,” “La Pro”). And how about that Little Machete? More white guys got manager gigs, but one is on his way to being bilingual as Albernaz adds some Baltimore-ese to his native Mass. Your hosts urge you to take some hyper local action if you are comfortable – patronize your local immigrant-owned businesses, support your community foundation, write some postcards to policy makers.We say, “perhaps the whole king thing is a bigger problem than the baseball cap,” “mafia-level juicy gossip,” and “I'm going to keep talking until you tell me to stop.” “Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for November 4th Publish Date: November 4th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, November 4th and Happy Birthday to Puff Daddy I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Gas South District to host Gwinnett Glows tree lighting event Dacula teen and Gwinnett business owner join forces to spread warmth and hope this winter Cirque du Soleil’s ‘Luzia’ offers a dreamlike escape All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Gas South District to host Gwinnett Glows tree lighting event The Gas South District is kicking off the holiday season with its annual tree lighting on Nov. 21, right in front of the Gas South Convention Center. “Gwinnett Glows,” presented by Amazon, runs from 6 to 9 p.m. and is totally free. Expect food trucks, live entertainment, and all the festive vibes. Oh, and hot cocoa—because what’s a tree lighting without it? They’re also teaming up with Rainbow Village to help families in need. Bring a gift to donate to their Amazon Christmas Wishlist, or donate online if you can’t make it. What else? Handmade crafts, photo ops with the Pink Pig, and performances by local choirs. It’s going to be magical. STORY 2: Dacula teen and Gwinnett business owner join forces to spread warmth and hope this winter Fifteen-year-old Caden Jackson from Dacula High isn’t your average teenager. For the past decade—yes, since he was five—he’s been collecting coats, hats, gloves, and scarves to help kids stay warm in the winter. Through his nonprofit, Loved & Protected, he’s handed out nearly 9,000 pieces of winter gear to those in need. This year, he’s teaming up with Millie Habtemariam, owner of Full Circle Salon & Spa Suites in Suwanee, for the Winter Warmth Drive 2025. Their goal? Collect 5,000 coats, hats, and gloves by Dec. 31. Habtemariam’s salon is a drop-off spot, and she’s even giving donors a free “manifest candle” she makes herself. For Caden, it’s all about the joy. “Seeing kids’ faces light up when they get a new coat—it’s amazing,” he said. Caden’s dream? To take Loved & Protected nationwide. For more info, visit lovedandprotected.org or fullcirclecandle.com STORY 3: Cirque du Soleil’s ‘Luzia’ offers a dreamlike escape Olivia Aepli and Terrance Jr. Robinson may be relatively new to Cirque du Soleil’s touring family, but they’re no strangers to the grind of life on the road. So, the chance to stay put for a while? They’re loving it. Both performers are part of “Luzia,” Cirque’s stunning “waking dream of Mexico,” running at Atlantic Station from Nov. 6 to Jan. 25. That’s over 50 shows in one spot—an absolute luxury for these road warriors. “Luzia” is Aepli’s first Cirque show, and she’s living her childhood dream. She plays the running woman, performs swing-to-swing, hoop diving, and even pole dancing. Robinson, a Cirque veteran, appears as a hummingbird and also performs hoop diving and acropole. For tickets, visit cirquedusoleil.com/luzia. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets 1 STORY 4: Parkview Grad Matt Olson Wins Third Gold Glove Award Parkview grad Matt Olson just added another piece of hardware to his already impressive career. On Sunday night, the Atlanta Braves’ first baseman snagged the Rawlings Gold Glove Award for the National League—his third overall. Olson beat out Bryce Harper and Spencer Steer for the honor, which was announced live on ESPN. He’s no stranger to this award, having won two Gold Gloves back in 2018 and 2019 with the Oakland A’s. This season? Olson was a rock. He played all 162 games, made just five errors in nearly 1,300 chances. Oh, and he’s now only the second Braves first baseman to win a Gold Glove, joining Freddie Freeman. Drafted straight out of high school by Oakland in 2012, Olson’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable. And now, he’s cementing his legacy with his hometown team. STORY 5: Lawrenceville may add more downtown parking near square If you’ve ever circled downtown Lawrenceville looking for a parking spot—especially during an event at the Lawrenceville Lawn—there might be some relief on the horizon. Maybe. The city just bought two properties on South Perry Street, near the AutoZone, for a combined $835,000. What’s the plan? Well, that’s still up in the air. Assistant City Manager Barry Mock hinted at a possible parking lot, saying the southwest side of downtown could use more spaces. But City Manager Chuck Warbington isn’t ruling out redevelopment either. Meanwhile, the city also snagged a truck repair shop on Reid Street for $300,000. It’s been there for decades, but officials want to “clean up” the area and hold the property for future redevelopment. As for the AutoZone? No plans to buy it—yet. Break 3: STORY 6: Gwinnett's Co-ops bracing for increased demand as SNAP benefits end Jackie Wells Smith, director of the Lilburn Co-op, says they’ve seen a steady uptick in families seeking help, especially seniors and working parents who rely on food stamps to make ends meet. “For these families, losing SNAP is like losing a paycheck,” she said. Other co-ops, like Southeast Gwinnett and North Gwinnett, are scrambling too. North Gwinnett is shifting to a twice-a-month food distribution model to manage demand. Gwinnett County is stepping in with $250,000 to help co-ops handle the surge, but the need is overwhelming. “We’re planning for a 25% increase,” Smith said, “but honestly, I think it’ll be more.” Donations of food, hygiene items, and money are desperately needed. Co-ops are asking the community to step up—because the families coming through their doors have no other options. STORY 7: Aurora Theatre ready to celebrate 30 years of Christmas Canteen Thanksgiving’s still weeks away, but the Aurora Theatre? They’re already decking the halls. Their beloved holiday tradition, *Christmas Canteen*, returns Nov. 28 through Dec. 21, and this year’s show promises something extra special: a horn section joining the orchestra for the first time. Think big, brassy, and festive. Now in its 30th season, *Christmas Canteen* is a high-energy mix of dazzling dance, laugh-out-loud comedy, and music that’ll stick in your head long after the curtain falls. But this year’s show is bittersweet—it’s the final one under the musical direction of Ann-Carol Pence, Aurora’s co-founder. What started in 1996 as a WWII-era tribute has grown into a multigenerational tradition, blending Big Band nostalgia with modern carols, comedy, and heartfelt moments. Tickets are on sale now at auroratheatre.com. Don’t wait—this one’s a holiday must-see.
