2018 Offseason And Targets

[CJ9]

Rangers writer TR Sullivan: Braves need a right fielder and have a glut of good young pitching. Looks like there is a possible match involving Nomar Mazara if the Rangers are serious about dealing him.


Gross.

[Enscheff]

Tell me which player was which defensively in a corner in 2018 without looking...

A.) 5 DRS, 0.8 UZR/150

B.) 4 DRS, 3.0 UZR/150

C.) -3 DRS, 1.1 UZR/150

D.) 2 DRS, -0.5 UZR/150

Someone clearly doesn’t understand advanced defensive stats

Rangers beat writer dreaming for ways to get value out of a terrible player. Sure Texas. We take Mazara you take Jt.

O's claim Rio Ruiz off waivers from Braves

[Hudson2]

If Miami lowers their asking price for JTR then I think we will jump back in. Albies ain’t happening so put Pache in his place.

I still don’t get this. Why give up significant resources towards a position of lessor needs. If we want to trade Christian, then find someone with a good corner outfielder and package him for that. Like the M’s. Why do we want to get JT and then be forced to trade late bloomer for dimes on the dollars.

I wasn't thinking he was going to stick around

If AA can’t find the type of upgrade he wants in the outfield then I could why he would do it.

Mazara isn't yet 24. If he came cheap I'd consider it.

Seems more like speculation than an actual rumor. Mazara is talented and has some upside at only 23 but he's been pretty mediocre.

probably want more of a sure thing.

I don’t care if he is 12. He sucks in the field and isn’t that special at the plate. Give me the ****ty defender in Detroit who can at least rake before this scrub.

if a player were 12 and hit like mazara has i'd hope the braves would try and acquire him

[Super]

mazara also played most of his games in RF. maybe LF would be easier for him. he wasn't terrible in RF, just not good. he definitely still has upside.

Yeah, the only way we get Kluber is with Pache included. Almost 100%.

I like Pache, but our plans for Ender are what makes him expendable or not. I doubt we'd see an OF with Ender and Pache in it, so if we're riding with Ender for 2-3 more seasons than Pache is expendable. If we're planning on flipping Ender before his defense starts to decline we should be holding on to Pache.

Ideally if we do include Pache I'd prefer a bat.

[TheRunningAgent]

I wonder if they asked for Ender and we rejected? Wouldn’t it be sweet to hear all the negotiations?

[Heyward]

What are everyones expectations for the WM as far as Braves moves...?

AA has said that he does not like making moves at the Winter Meetings and prefers to make them a week or 2 after.....based on that. i'm not expecting much if anything on our end

Dont expect anything this week, i think we do "something" next week though.

[Heyward]

Some Mariners writer said Braves offered Pache/Wilson for Diaz, that would have been interesting.

I like Wilson, but ew. I'm not a fan of that at all. Still, it shows the Braves will trade Pache for pitching. Hello, Kluber. lol
