They wanted C-Mart last year; I'd guess this is just people remembering that.
Of note, however, is that the Braves were watching Jenkins in the AFL last year and were very impressed by his performance. That was part of what led to them asking him as part of the Heyward deal.
Weaver has had an outstanding AFL thus far. If the Braves put a fair amount of weight on AFL performances, I could see him being of interest to them.
Again, just look at who they got for Simmons. They didn't get anything resembling C-Mart and there's no reason they should be expected to substantially beat that return on Freeman. Of course they'll ask for the moon (just as they asked the Mets for Harvey or DeGrom for Simmons), but what they request and what they'll get are two very, very different things.
