what would be the terms of a Freddie freeman contract extension, and how would it effect the braves future payroll and payroll flexibility?

It's a long 2 hours

I thought we were trading him to reload the farm?

that ship has sailed. shame, as they could've gotten maybe Willie Calhoun and Nomar Mazara. Or maybe a combo like Hunter Harvey and Dylan Bundy. How good would a Stephen Piscotty/Alex Reyes combo look on this team right now?
huge mistake by the FO.

Why are you creating all of these useless threads??
He’s vulnerable now; time to pounce.

Unless he goes on a discount I'm not interested. It will be hard to replace him, but not as hard as to eat 20+M of injured reserve time. Freeman is a big boi. When big boi's age they tend to age harshly.

Pujols and Miggy and who else? Thome, Bagwells, and Thomas played extremely well into their late 30's, even if they did miss some time due to injury.
Not that I am disagreeing with your general premise, just trying to decipher your post.

Thomas and Thome had the luxury of the designated hitter.
Forever Fredi
Thomas. He obviously was nowhere near the same hitter the first half of his career. He also was injured a ton like Chipper and could DH whenever. Even before his decline started at age 33 he was already DHing. When his decline hit in 2001 he played a total of 38 games at 1B the rest of his career. I have no doubt he would have suffered offensively, and been a huge liability defensively, had he been forced to play 1B.

3 years is reasonable, imo, as is the average annual salary which is costantly increasing.
Yep, Miggy and Pujols sure didn’t, playing their entire careers in the NL and all.

Roasted.
The shoulder injury would worry me with Soroka. If he would sign the Teheran extension I would do it, but otherwise I would just ride it out. Five years is an eternity with pitchers.
Rebuilds are gonna happen. I would rather see lifetime Braves. As cursed as this franchise is when we do win a championship it will be pure luck talent doesn't seem to matter.
luck wins you game 5 of the NLDS...but talent is what gets you there

Truth bomb.
Welp we're screwed then
Agreed. Two piss ass hits tied it for the Cards yesterday. While the Braves hit 100 MPH rockets into outs in the 9th. Can't make that **** up.
