I see us at about 80 wins, maybe a few more if some things break our way. A lot of that is based off my belief in Albies, Gohara, and eventually Acuna and the value they add. I'm skeptical of Dansby, but if he improves into like a 2 win player that would be a big boost for us. I don't think we are a wild card contender yet, but you can see something developing.
I am late to the party. Is all the alcohol, salmon and lobster tails gone?
FG projected the Braves at 75 without Minter or Acuna, so let’s call it 78 wins before the trade. Add 1-2 wins with McCarthy.
I agree, a .500 record is a good goal for this team.
The most important thing about this next season is having three or four young guys show they are legit rotation options
I see 113 wins after our playoff run. Kemp’s protection will still be felt
Coppy
AGon officially dumped now.
Interesting to note the Braves will save whatever the team who picks him up pays. I’m guessing that will be a million bucks or so.
Crazy, tossing a million bucks at a washed up player as chump change.
Still looks like you’re missing the point, Esteban. He is getting paid 21.5 million no matter what. So what’s the advantage for a team to pay more than they have to?
If signs for 7 million, he doesn’t get 28.5 million next year. He will still get 21.5 million. He’ll just get 14.5 million from the braves and 7 from the other team he signs with.
No advantage whatsoever for the other team to just pay more than they have to.
