Alex Anthopoulos was a supporter of Acuna and any other position players who wanted to keep their games going during the winter.
“I think it worked well for him. Just him playing was a good thing,” Anthopoulos told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Justin Toscano. “If position players wanna play — I think we view pitchers a little differently — but if any of our position players want to play in the winter, unless they’re coming off some type of injury, we encourage them to play.”
