Braves Beat Writer Jesús Cano of The Athletic Joins The Show! | Atlanta Braves Podcast

Lindsay Crosby is joined by The Athletic’s new Braves beat writer Jesús Cano to discuss Atlanta’s MLB-best start, standout clubhouse chemistry, and how that unity shows up on the field. They cover Dom Smith’s fit, Ronald Acuña Jr.’s early timing issues and confidence boost after returning from a hamstring injury, and the Mateo–Ha-Seong Kim shortstop playing-time balance. Cano shares updates on catcher Drake Baldwin’s oblique timeline and the impact of Baldwin and Sean Murphy returning. They break down pitching surprises like Didier Fuentes thriving in relief while developing, Martín Pérez’s flexible role, under-the-radar contributions from Dylan Lee and Grant Holmes, and Cano’s bilingual reporting. The conversation closes with Cano’s first impressions of Atlanta and some pro-wrestling talk.
