It is that time of year and moves have already started,
The Padres and Mets have both let go of their managers.
Is this the offseason we finally lose Ron Washington? I definitely hope not.

Pretty interesting question given the fact that the team is smack in the middle of its contention window and how close Langeliers is - would you trade him for an inexpensive piece (or pair him with someone for a couple pieces) that you control for a couple seasons? MLBTR put out their blurb this afternoon wondering about what the Marlins might do in their search for a potential "answer" at Catcher since they appear to be finished with the Alfaro experiment (behind the plate anyway), and the Braves were one of the trading partners they had on their list. Considering their penny-pinching ways - and AA's probable need to pick up cheap pen and bench pieces - would you utilize the catching depth and someone like Waters to get a couple pretty important secondary pieces? For example...
Contreras and Waters for Dylan Floro and Garrett Cooper?
Tromp could serve as d'Arnaud's backup at the beginning of the season while Langeliers gets regular ABs in Gwinnett until he's deemed "ready", and he and d'Arnaud could split time in the second half if things work out as hoped
Floro replaces Martin as a late-inning right-handed option to pair with Jackson, and Cooper takes Duvall's place as part of the LF/DH picture. They project Floro will make $2.4 million in arbitration and Cooper will pull down $3 million in 2022 - both are controlled through 2023. Assuming Ozuna's your DH (at some point), you keep Pederson if he decides he wants to stay or you re-sign Rosario. Pederson/Rosario and Cooper handle the corners until Acuna's ready and Ozuna's suspension is over and then become your LF platoon. While Cooper doesn't quite offer Duvall's power, he's a *elluva lot better hitter - and won't cost you nearly as much money.
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?
I think that’s too little and why help a division team?
That trade proposal made my eyes bleed.
How about we save this garbage for when the season is over.

Leeets goooo!! 🙌
I want Soler back!
I think we should trade for a young MVP caliber OF and a big bat for DH with off the field issues. Maybe even trade for a young injury prone top of the rotation starter.

Any chance soler and ozuna are on this team together next year? We'd be pretty RH'd
Man. I wish ozuna would go away.
Sign soler and Rosario.
Pache plays center since the DH is in play.
Bring Bae back on a 3-4 year deal at no more than 15 which should be easy considering the market.

That’s likely our starting rotation come July.
Can you say back to back champs?

I've never been so happy to see an off-season thread. Even with the lockout mess, this will be an incredible offseason hahah
Go get Reynolds from Pitts and resign Freeman and Soler and another good starter. We are dominate LH in the bullpen so I’d like to see a lockdown righty too like Graveman.
Can’t use resources to sign a starter when the options are plentiful in house.
We already resigned Morton.
