Controversy arose ahead of the 2022 season as the Atlanta Braves traded for Matt Olson. The move came to fruition after the management elected not to extend club legend Freddie Freeman. Olson was a huge Braves fan growing up as he was born and raised in Atlanta. However, he drew flak from the team's faithful, as they preferred Freeman to stay in the Peach State.

During Thursday's episode of "Hammer Territory," Braves pundits Brad Rowland and Scott Coleman discussed how Olson's signing two years ago was a master stroke of genius by Braves' president of baseball of operations Alex Anthopoulos.
