Middling prospect was released
Pretty good since I’m a Braves fan
They still haven’t won anything yet, they have a ton of holes. They are playing fairly well and are in a pretty poor division so they may have a chance to make the playoffs and then get bounced
There. Happy?
Agree to a point
He might be a part of a trade for an Ace but I don’t think the centerpiece

The NL playoffs have the potential to really be a madhouse this year due to the 2nd wild card. What's crazy is it's a bunch of good not great teams (at the most), and the arguably most talented team when healthy (even without Corey Seager) is going to have to fight to the death to go.
It's mildly plausible 4 one game playoffs will be needed and a tiebreaker game or two for the division, too.
Even if it lives up to what it could be, the NL winner will be mincemeat for the AL winner this year.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
Ventura's Stolen Bases
Can save 11 mil by moving Julio but even with that, and even if payroll is bigger, i dont see them being players for Machado or Harper given there's multiple holes to fill.
2 catchers, another outfielder, BP arm, bench IF bat, maybe a SP, and leaving some money for a midseason trade as well.

This season has been a success. Period.
Attendance is up in the 2nd year of a new park. The importance of that fact can’t be overstated.
Folty and Newk have emerged as rotation mainstays. Acuna and Albies have shown to be legit young stars. AA has shown to be competent at making value additions.
