It is clear that sellers tried to exploit the market which is why so many big names didn’t move. No GM is just going to give an absurd package to “push in”.

Scared money doesn't make money.
It's also a gamble to keep the prospects that have proven nothing at the big league level.
Nothing in life is guaranteed, but you can't be scared to take risks.
The timing is obviously what you have to get right when trying to win championships- I thought now was the time before the big fat middle finger the Braves fan base received at the deadline.
Now Houston has a rotation of demigods and would be virtually impossible for us to beat, not to mention the Dodgers and Nats in our our league.
When AA deems the "time is right", Josh Donaldson will be gone, and Freddie Freeman will be on the wrong side of 30.
Baseball history is absolutely littered with teams going all in and succeeding in their quest for the ultimate prize: a ring.
In recent history, the Chicago Cubs did it and won a world championship, and they are still "competitive" three years after they reached the pinnacle.
Do you have proof that I'm a troll?
Could it be possible that I simply give harbor to opinions that differ from the consensus?
this is how i know you're a child. because if you're actually smart, yeah...it does.
gambling at casinos is brave money...that makes (most) casino owners wealthy (with some very obvious, notable exceptions), and the gamblers broke.
i'll safely tuck mine away in my 401k, Roth, and index funds and watch it grow.
Not me, I want to be entertained by good baseball rather than "win and sell." The first two years of the recent rebuild were hard to watch and I don't want to see that again anytime soon.
Anyone who didn't enjoy the rebuild's first few losing seasons is not a real Braves fan.
We saw exciting at-bats by Jace Peterson, unbelievable pitching by Wisler, Folty, etc in their rookie year.
We saw the Grilled Cheese close games out. Got a taste of lairdership experience by Pierzynski.
Peak Freddie in the batters box. We saw Markakis' recovery from when he just got back from surgery with no power, to tripling his power from lifting weights.
What a fun place this is
I have to admit the rebuild was the second most fun era of braves baseball for me.
Learned a ton.
