    all without trading a single prospect of note...in retrospect the Gausman trade was yuge

    I remember saying that the Gausman trade was the best trade of the deadline. Every stat I looked at with him said that he was going to improve a ton in Atlanta and become at least a #3 with multiple years of control. The fact that we got him for basically nothing is amazing.

    Taking stock of the current situation: Our farm has been barely touched, we traded for impact players, we just won the division, and we have 5+ years of control on all our young stars. The only negative I can think of from the deadline is that we didn't do anything to improve our bench, but all in all I think AA has done an AA+ job so far.

    Will admit Wren helped a good bit but not to the extent some say.

    MVP i'm not sure, the whole team just battles, and never gives up.

    And AA is a damn wizard, really improved the roster without touching the farm all that much.

    Happy for the team and happy for the fans who didn’t concede the division multiple times or cry irrational tears during a game. So I am glad for the three people here who don’t fall into the two categories above.

    Ender over Freeman in the 2nd half.

    I'd argue that Culberson is the overall MVP of the season.

    Culberson actually being good has helped out the team a ton, but if we are going to give MVP based off of a expected value-actual value ratio, I think it has to go to Camargo. I expected heavy regression from last year with him being a clear bench player. The fact that he could approach 4 WAR by the end of the year would give him the MVP by these standards. His ascension has been enormous for this team

    I say you are all wrong! the MVP of the 2nd half is Kevin Seitzer. What he did to change Acuna and Ender is what legends are made of.

    Seitzer is about as good as Chuckie is bad. I love having him and he seems to be one of the better hitting coaches in baseball. Especially for young guys

    AA oversaw the winning, therefore he gets the credit. this is what i have been told in the past.
