Freddi just added added gasoline on fire…Uggla will demand to get out of Atlanta unless they win a (1) playoff game and I am not sure that will be enough…and pretty sure that any happening anyway”
I can almost assure you one or both of them will be back next season.

People have been pretty respectful of Chipper this year. The last 2 years or so, not so much.
He’s the all time star of Atlanta sports. Matt Ryan may have to win 3 Super Bowls to even have a chance.
