    I wonder if things heat up this week....By now Miami (and all teams involved) should have a good idea of what it will take to get JTR and who the players for him are....I think Atlanta matches up best with Miami for him in terms of what we have to offer..

    They move Mac to RF just so we can get the entertainment value of watching the slowest human on earth play outfield defense.

    I don't think it would be bad publicity....we signed him to an extension at the end of the season thinking that he was going to be one of our 2 guys....

    A player became available that we did not expect, and we made the deal because it made the team better...

    While we could technically go with 3 catchers, I don't think that is the direction we would go for the full season. JTR should and will get a bulk of the playing time, while BMac will serve as the back up or the personal catcher for Folty or Newk.

    If JTR happens, I wouldn't be surprised to see Flowers dealt to Oakland

    Couldn't they just use Mac in the Duda role?

    The braves are the organization that was signing international kids like ole miss was recruiting in football. The braves are now in jeopardy of losing a draft pick over supposedly low balling a HS kid. The braves have zero fricks to give...

    Flowers is in the deal for JTR imo. Also the media in Atl rarely rips on anybody so the bad pub would be minimal if any.

    Still don’t really think Realmuto is the best use of resources.

    Maybe not, but at this point when there are so few corner OF options available AA's running out of available upgrades.

    Would need to be a bit of a wild merry-go-round, but if he could get Realmuto on his terms and work out something for Peralta that'd be an awfully nice offseason.

    Sure that's looking more short-term, but if he doesn't make a move to be realistically in the mix soon the rebuild will have been a waste when all the arms start getting hurt and/or losing value.
    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?

    If he's signed longterm, I'd absolutely argue otherwise. If not, then I agree with you. Unless we win a WS in the meantime, then it's damn worth it. lol

    JTR would be a clear upgrade on the team. Evidence suggests he can even have better overall numbers getting out of Miami. Braves do need another bat whether it's at catcher or cOF.

    Appears DOB is finally softening on the Realmuto stance that we have no intrest.

    An extension is a different transaction than the one for a trade. If it's fair or better value then it's good. Riley is expendable and likely for good reason. This offseason is the year to move him imo.

    Bmac could fill the Duda role and be the third catcher and spell Freddie at 1st, JTR would be a Legit 4 hole hitter.
