The Atlanta Braves finally seem to be getting into the groove as they reached the .500 mark. More good signs are that the latest updates on the Braves’ Ronald Acuña Jr.’s health have been promising too. But still, not many have forgotten the double-standard drama that became the talk of the town ever since he made a post that read, “If it were me, they would take me out of the game.” However, the lingering cloud of drama now seems to be vanishing with Acuña Jr finally breaking his silence on the spat with the Braves manager.

For the first time ever since the incident occurred, Ronald Acuña Jr. addressed the comments made by him publicly on Wednesday. The Braves superstar and also 2023 NL MVP is currently under rehabilitation after the ACL surgery and is looking to get back to the mound as soon as possible.

Now, according to a post made by Zach Klein, X: “Braves Ronald Acuña said he apologized to Brian Snitker and asked for his forgiveness and spoke to him man to man… also apologized to his teammates. Acuña said he was frustrated with his injury and not being there with his teammates and that the team was struggling.” Acuna Jr. provided a clear explanation for his early-season absences and the distractions that caused him to miss a significant number of games when the Braves were losing.

Clearing up a controversial tweet, Ronald Acuña Jr. spoke via a translator and and Franco Garcia, the director of baseball player relations. “That was just a moment of frustration for me. Thankfully, I was able to apologize to Snit. I was in the wrong. I shouldn’t have done that. But thankfully, I was able to apologize to Snit to his face and to apologize to my teammates. We’re just turning the page and moving on.”

For those unaware, Jarred Kelenic made a mistake on the basepaths as he pushed for second base rather than holding at first once he saw the ball go off the wall. He was tagged out, but neither before nor after the game did manager Brian Snitker address the error. And that’s why Acuña Jr. made such a statement that if it were him, he would have been pulled out of the game.

However, it was the frustration building in him and, on top of that, the team’s struggles as well, which intensified the situation. Now emphasizing as a proud member of the team, Acuña Jr had a man-to-man conversation and he even admitted to his mistake, “I told them I wouldn’t have any excuses. I took accountability for it. We have a really good relationship. I think we’ll be able to move on just fine.”

Can Ronald Acuña Jr steal the spotlight yet again – getting along well with everyone?

The good news is that Ronald Acuña Jr did what he was expected to. However, it’s more important what he does when he dons the Atlanta Braves jersey once again. Will he be able to cope with others properly along with the manager, Brian Snitker, after apologizing to everyone? Well, only time will tell. However, he has already homered in the first rehabilitation game and managed to play six innings in the Florida Complex League.

Despite not having a specific return date, Acuña Jr has once again become the talk of the town after apologizing. And to be fair, the Braves need him as well. Despite being at 21-22, they miss him, who led the team to the 20243 NL East title. But that’s not all!

What a decorated career he has! His statistics speak for themselves. Other than making four All-Star appearances, Ronald Acuña Jr has a .289 average, with a .379 OBP and a .904 OPS while posting 165 home runs too. Not to forget that he has even shown some leadership traits that the Braves can think of in the future too.

Now that he has already apologized for the mistake by admitting to it, be it in the clubhouse or down the stretch, we hope that Acuña Jr makes a quick return and is the “someone” whom the team loves and hopes to get along with for long.
