Should have signed Brantley last year!

We should go to Ozuna and offer him a 4 year/not getting kicked in the balls contract. If he declines, kick him straight in the balls.
I agree with some others that this team is better than last year, minus the cleanup hitter. Barring a trade from the bullpen, deepest bullpen we've had in awhile. Rotation has a pretty solid top 4, 5th spot is a question. Pache should come up sometime in May to July.
Cleanup hitter, whoever/whatever it is, has to happen, otherwise Freddie might break Bonds walk record.
Also, word is we offered 3/75 with a 4th year option to make it to 3/80 if option was declined, so i dont blame JD for taking more money. Especially since he can DH in years 3-4 if he breaks down badly.
4/$72 million might just get Ozuna tomorrow - the question is, would AA go that far and then have to find something to do with Waters? Follow that up with a 1 year deal for Holt and go get 'em.
That would assuredly be the easiest way to "fix" this for 2020, but would that be the way he wants to play it?
Can't see that as a "bad" option - gives Riley and Waters another full season in Gwinnett, and you could look for a package deal for a TOR starter or long-term 3B during the season that you consider including them both in a package for.

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?

3/45 was Ozuna's projections before the off-season. I see nothing that would change that significantly. 3/50 with a 4th year option and 5 million buyout probably lands him.
Castellanos was projected for 4/60. That seems about right since he has no draft pick attached and he's the younger player.
The projections for players so far this offseason have been pretty close on a bunch of players.

If we sign Ozuna does that make it easier for AA to trade Waters for Bryant or Arenado?
thank you weso1!
Beltran might get fired without ever managing a game. How often has that happened?

If we can’t sign Ozuna then we should sign Puig to a one-year prove it contract like we did with JD.
