Interesting article, talks about the teams who are best set up for the near term to make a run at the world series. Braves mentioned pretty highly.

I'd be cool with winning the next 5 to make up for the last 24 years.

It says in our blurb that industry chatter is the Braves won’t be looking to cash in all their chips this offseason. I’m really nervous/excited/interested to see how much prospect capital is moved.

I think one major trade is made with 2-3 major pieces from the farm leaving. Don't know for who, but it'll happen.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

I dont see us going nuts, but i think one major trade is made, for who i'm not sure but the Braves will make one big trade to improve the big league team. If i were i guess, i'd say Realmuto, Braves have been linked to him quite a bit.
Maybe trade away one more for farm depth.

Absolutely it is. If you can get a quality player on cheap deal, you do it every time. If Goldy were a FA right now and he would sign with us for 10 million, we'd be incredibly dumb not to do it.
Any back up catcher we have will likely still get about 200 at bats or so (maybe closer to 250). Having a backup catcher who can still be a quality hitter for those 200 at bats is pretty crucial.
