    2020 Offseason Thread

    Since this season is essentially over, figure we should move on to the offseason.
    What are some moves you'd like to see made?
    I'm thinking of something like Acuña+ for Whit Merrifield. this team needs some actual grit and less chains around player's necks.
    extend Markakis for another 2 years for ~$10M per year (if he'll come that cheap - will have lots of suitors).
    also i'd try and get Gerrit Cole for 10/$400M. you may think it's a slight overpay but chances are he'll be worth it and then you re-extent him halfway thru for extra savings.
    then sign Lance Lynn and/or Bumgarner for 5/$100M each. That's 3 bonafide aces.

    What would YOU do?

    I think this is a response thread to some of the foolishness we've seen recently in the game threads.
    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.

    Do you think they would take Camargo instead? They are of roughly the same value.

    Release Kyle Wright. Or trade him to the only GM dumb enough to take him Dayton Moore.

    Only one thing to do: Coax Mike Hessman out of retirement and let Donaldson walk.

    LOL I love it. Keep it coming.

    I look forward to you saying "I don't care" when we point out how wrong you were, despite your constant posts proving you do care haha.

    Caring about the braves and caring if my opinions are right are not mutually exclusive. Surely someone as intelligent of you can see that.

    Or they can be mutually exclusive, as in: you can not care if you’re right so long as being wrong benefits the Braves.
