According to DOB, Fredi and Wren both got contract extensions. Might justify a separate thread.

Forever Fredi
Not sure how Fredi can get an extension after that showing in the playoffs last year. I'm willing to see if he grows as a manager but this is now a win-now team. Can't have a manager making insane decisions that potentially costs us playoff games (KIMBREL!)

Fredi extension is strictly symbolic. Coaches aren't like players, they get paid well, but firing them isn't the same as cutting a player. Fredi benig under contract means nothing. That said, this organization is about stability, and I don't think they can Fredi unless he epically collapses again.

and just like that, the braves made their worst choice of the offseason

Fred is cox-lite. He'll be here until Wren retires like JS.

That's the thing with Fredi in that series. Managers, to me, generally have limited impact on games. Sure, they makes moves, but it's still largely your star players that are going to carry you. However, I feel Fredi had a major impact on the outcome of that series. It wasn't all his fault, and I think our offense is the primary reason we lost. But, Fredi had a bigger impact than I would have liked, and that impact was negative.
I doubt he gets fired, because we will have a good season and this team has a lot of upside. I don't think he will always make decisions that directly cost us games like in Game 4. The opportunity isn't always there.
