"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Spoken like someone who doesn't even belong posting here anymore...
You have morphed into nothing but an AA toady.
WS chances would be far greater if we landed, say, Thor, Sugar, and Pence or Puig. The Reds are incredibly dumb so we could maybe get Puig for a bargain.
Scheff is playing the long game and not making one big move that might give us a better chance but would hurt in the future.
doomed
Not yet, in 2 days perhaps.
And you think that we can beat them with Thor, Madbum, or Bauer (noting that you have conspicuously grouped Madbum in your supposed group of "aces").
I think we could grab Thor/Bauer, Diaz/Vasquez, and Puig/Peralta and it would only increase our chances of beating the Dodgers by 5-10%. Right now we have about a 10% chance of making the world series and about a 5% chance of winning it. If we picked up all three of those guys it may bump our chances up to 15 and 10.
I understand. I would rather go all in now.
1. Flags fly forever.
2. Freeman is not getting any younger.
3. Good luck finding a 4 hitter as good as Donaldson once he rejects the QO.
What's not to like about what AA has done? Fans like you wanted to spend big money and years on Kimbrel. Cubs are already regretting it. AA is refuses to kill our future by overpaying in years, money, and prospects. Pretty smart if you ask me.
I cited BR(Bleacher Report) who I now see that they got it from Talking Chop. So, source was cited!!! Reading comprehension?? Even your quote shows the source.

"Flags fly forever"...
What does that even mean haha? What a stupid cliche...
Consistently competitive teams entertain us for many months year after year.
Or you can sit around looking at a "flag" for 3-4 years while the team sucks. Worked so well for marlins fans.
Typical millennial longing for instant gratification.
Count your blessings and be thankful when we win it all in 2021.
1- Flags fly forever but Braves arent a big market team where they can trade their best prospects and it wont hurt them as much as a big market club.
2- He's not, but he's still damn good.
3- Donaldson will be 34 with a QO attatched to him, i dont know who is giving up a top 2 round pick for that.
I know we'll eventually have to cash our chips eventually, i dont believe now is the time to do that.
No sir.
I didn't want to spend big money on Kimbrel. He is too old.
As far as liking/disliking what AA has done: I don't like not being close on anything this close to the deadline.
"Far greater" is a pretty vague term. Give us your estimate for how much those guys would boost our world series chances? Because I guarantee you that every single projection site would have the gain as no more than 5-10%, and that is being incredibly generous. So you're willing to sell off Pache, Waters, Anderson, Wright, and/or all the other 45+ prospects we have for a 5-10% increase at most?
Doesn't seem that wise.
The fact that "flags fly forever" is the primary justification for your argument tells everyone a lot about your thought process. Or lack thereof.
You play to win championships.
Typical liberal with no balls.
I think Puig can be had pretty reasonable but Thor and Diaz is gonna start with Anderson and probably Waters and keep going for 2-3 more prospects. They are both controllable for several more years so I wouldn’t cry about it if it happened.
As far as I know all of the deals that have been made thus far were never talked about as being 'close'. Odds are any moves the Braves make will just magically appear without any build up. Kind of like the rest of the moves AA has made.
If this morphs into a bet make sure you get whatever payment he promises as stakes up front, or you will assuredly be stiffed when he loses.
