The Atlanta Braves gave Mauricio Dubon some major news ahead of their series against the New York Yankees.
The Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association announced the winners of the Heart & Hustle awards for each team. Atlanta’s winner was Dubon.
According to MLB, the Heart & Hustle award “Is presented annually to active players who exemplify a true passion for the game and who best embody the values, spirit and traditions of the game. The Heart and Hustle Award is the only award in Major League Baseball that is voted on by former players. Voting for team winners is conducted prior to the All-Star break.”
The Braves acquired Dubon from the Houston Astros in November for Nick Allen. In his first year with Atlanta, Dubon has been a major part of the roster and someone Braves alumni have grown fond of.
Dubon is hitting .269 with 10 home runs and 58 RBIs this season with the Braves. He’s a pending free agent.
More to come.
