CJ Duncan hosts MLB star and World Series champion Dansby Swanson for a deep dive in this week’s episode of the Yellowhammer Sports Podcast, going all the way back to growing up in a sports-loving family, and how his passion for baseball and basketball shaped his skills and spirit.
He talks the surprise and bittersweet experience of being traded from the Diamondbacks to his hometown Atlanta Braves, something he ultimately views as a blessing that brought him closer to family and led to meeting his wife, U.S. soccer star Mallory Swanson. Dansby walks CJ through career highlights, including Atlanta’s 2021 World Series win and his recent transition to the Chicago Cubs.
