MVP!!!
Also there’s this..
Ronald Acuna Jr. is batting .275/.378/.546 with 149 runs, 29 doubles, one triples, 47 home runs, 107 RBI, and 43 stolen bases over his last 162 games played.
Is that any good?
Haha

As bad as it’s been with the rotation ...it’s been a blessing in disguise. Had we had the beginning rotation stick, guys line Wright, Anderson and Ynoa May have not gotten enough time to develop. As it is...they were pushed and now are looking like real options moving forward.

Can we have Soto take an 0fer this weekend? Ozuna is 16 points away from a triple crown.

Huascar? I hardly Ynoa!
(Huascar Ynoa sent down to make room for Tucker Davidson.)

Emergence of Wright as of late makes next years rotation look pretty solid. If Soroka is ready, a top 4 of Wright/Fried/Anderson/Soroka is not bad at all. And as great as he's been the last 5 years, i think it's time to part ways with Nick.
Ehh, kinda depends what we retain in free agency.
If rosters are back to 25 and there's a DH, could have an 8-man pen of say: Minter/Tomlin/O'Day/Martin/Smith/Dayton, and 1 of Greene/MM whichever is cheaper.
I could see us trade Ender for a bullpen arm for a similar contract. Doubt we let both go after trading key pieces for them.
I'm guessing we non-tender Luke to save a little money. Bullpen probably wont be quite as good as this year but rotation on paper should be a hell of alot better where we wont need it too. Really need to find a way to pay Ozuna though, do that and anything else is a bonus. Keep Ozuna, one of MM/Greene, and add a vet SP for the last rotation spot, and call it an offseason. And probably need to sign Freeman to a new deal, hopefully one that's good/fair to both sides. Only arb guys we have per spotrac are Duvall, Luke, Dayton, Swanson, and Minter. None should be crazy expensive, Luke i think gets non-tendered because money is tight.

Should be an interesting off-season. Hard to know what the overall financial landscape of major league baseball will look like which makes prediction nigh on impossible. Agree that a middle-of-the-order bat will be key. With Markakis likely to retire and Inciarte appearing to hit a performance wall (add to that I have to be convinced that Duvall isn't somewhat of a mirage), it will be interesting to see how they fill the OF. Not having the minor league season prevented everyone from getting a good look at Pache and Waters, so I have to believe they will look for a couple of bargain OFs at least to start the 2021 season. Free agent pickings are awfully slim in the OF department.
What is a fair Ozuna contract this off season. Not what the poor Braves will offer but what is a fair value for his services. He isn’t old per se. but being a DH devalues him somewhat. 3 plus an option maybe. Can he get 4-5?

Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
