Here’s what people have been saying about Dubón recently:
David Carroll: “Mauricio #Dubon gets very little hype when it comes to All-Star game, team MVP, etc. But the #Braves would be nowhere near 1st place without his contributions at the plate, and at several positions on the field.”
@mathomp_501: “Is Dubon gonna hit 20 homers!?!?”
Mark Bowman: “Mauricio Dubon is now 7-for-9 with the bases loaded. The Astros didn’t want to pay him $6M”
@extremelyhtown: “Friendly reminder that Nick Allen was acquired for Dubon to save a couple million and meanwhile Dubon is hitting .267 with highest slug since 2019 and on pace for a career high in HRs”
