    I am now so desperate for hot stove rumors that I am literally going to start making **** up, which I suppose would qualify me to be an official blogger or Twitter MLB Insider.

    On that note:

    I've been hearing that the Braves had a deal ready to go to trade Ozuna to the Rockies for Jon Gray, straight up, no cash involved.

    The Braves then intend to re-sign Rosario, Soler, AND Joc, with Joc playing 3 days out of five in left, right, or DH to keep the others fresh, and being a weapon off the bench on the other days, which is just all kind of important in an age of the universal DH. Team chemistry is everything, ovbviously, and took them to the World Series last year.

    The Freddie deal is all but locked, and will be announced as soon as the lockout ends. The clock ran out, but most of the details are done.

    The Braves are still actively looking for an infield super sub. My imaginary sources did not give me any names.

    All of the above is true, which I know because I am a blogger and an MLB Insider on the Twitter. Also, when I am not busy CEOing, I write fantasy for a living.

    Only one problem - Gray is in Texas!!!

    (Oh yeah - MY imaginary sources say the super-sub is Villar and that his reps called AA instead of waiting to be contacted. He said he wants to be part of that chemistry so bad that he's willing to take the veteran minimum to be part of what's going on here.)

    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?

    You understand that no part of that was meant to reflect reality, right?

    The Mets are retiring Keith Hernandez number. He only played on the team for 8 seasons (although he's been an announcer with them for 20). Yet the Braves still won't do the right thing and retire Andruw Jones' number.

    This really has been an absolute dream year (plus a few days of 2022) for the state of Georgia.

    Imagine if they would have kept the All Star Game in Atlanta?

    The Braves are adding a big shortstop with even bigger potential to their Minor League system.

    According to industry sources, the club has agreed to a $2.5 million deal with infielder Diego Benitez, No. 10 on MLB.com’s Top 50 International Prospects list.

    According to MLB pipeline, his floor is Barry Larkin, but he should be more.

    I wrote about Benitez a few times last year. Really excited about him.
