[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

With Joc I think it all comes down to if we can get him for less than the $10M option that was declined.

Your group of deals here certainly makes our team worse while giving up resources. I’ll give you that.

What are resources for? Dont really see any of those deals (?) giving up much.

[bravesfanforlife88]

some wierd ramblings but here goes. Trade Ozuna for Myers and Paddack. Padres missed on Cruz, still need a DH. We need another pitcher, Myers on last year of contract, passable defense. Then next trade for Voit to DH. Would possibly find Freddie a SoCal employer.
Seems that AA has CF long term aimed at Duvall to begin season, has Acuna agreement after healing. If that is not acceptable, what would it take to get Kiermaier?
One of our depth pitchers for who from the Red Sox? Do they have an OF available?
Before going on, my obsession with moving Ozuna is based on What Ifs. Being primarily what do you do if another domestic abuse situation arises during a critical time in season. You know he will be immediately banned and probably for life. Then what.

I like that idea. A solid defensive CF. With as much fire power as we have in our lineup, we don't necessarily need another power bat.

Do you really want to see Joc and Duvall in the same lineup for a whole season. Remember the bottom of lineup before Soler and Rosario got healed and on board?

Ehh… d’Arnaud and Swanson (and Duvall) can become black holes for long stretches. No thanks on Kiermaier

I didn’t say it was a ton of resources. But you’re making the team worse lol. Ozuna’s not going anywhere and Meyers would be a massive downgrade

[Enscheff]

I'd love Rosario back but not if its because we are looking for a left handed bat. Get the best guy left.

You can always get guys like Rosario at the deadline.

Yup. The Braves need a good player, not a LH hitter. Actually, to be precise when people want a LHH, they mean someone who performs well vs RHP.

Looking at the 5 realistic OFers left, here is their 2019/2021 xwOBA vs RHP:

Conforto = .378 (.361 overall)
Soler = .375 (.378 overall)
Pham = .360 (.356 overall)
Joc = .348 (.340 overall)
Rosario = .327 (.324 overall)

Despite lacking the platoon advantage, Soler and Pham are better vs RHP than Joc and Rosario.

My top choice is Conforto, but if he's too expensive I think Pham is a great low cost option. In fact, Pham may be so cheap he ends up being my top choice.

[zbhargrove]

Conforto is easily my top choice I just don’t think we are going for him

[bravesfanMatt]

I don't think this team needs to start getting creative. Just sign the best player out there that fits our needs (Soler in my selfish opinion)... Stop worrying about if Ozuna gets in trouble.. deal with situations as they arise.

Any chance we add Rosario and Joc?

[bravesfanMatt]

Any chance we add Rosario and Joc?

no..

[ramadon101]

Any chance we add Rosario and Joc?

I'd rather sign Conforto than those two. And if we can't afford Conforto, Pham seems like he'd provide great value as a fallback.

[ixiXSolidXixi]

Boras is Conforto agent and is not going to be cheap.

[UNCBlue012]

Rosario is back!

[bravesnumberone]

Rosario it is.

[bravesfanforlife88]

Rosario it is.

I'm okay with that. He will slot into one of the corner OF spots. Still think we need at least 1 more OFer

[bravesfanforlife88]

Heyman says $18m

[bravesfanMatt]

Heyman says $18m

per year?? seems high

[bravesfanforlife88]

2 years $18m club option for 3rd season
