Looking Ahead - The 2020 Offseason Thread

[Enscheff]

I bet we end up with Turner. He’s priced out in LA, and the Mets will throw their Monopoly money at Ozuna. We’ll likely get the Mets sloppy seconds to allow the price on one of them to come down.

I think I prefer Turner on a 1-2 year deal anyways. Move Riley to LF and grab someone like Puig to semi platoon with him and provide insurance in case Pache isn’t ready opening day.

Add some bench filler and BP values and call it a roster.

Very interesting contract for Bauer.

The Turner and Ozuna dominos should fall soon now.

I’m betting the Braves get one of them on a 1-2 year deal, and everyone crying the last few days will have to find something else to ignorantly complain about.

To hell with it, just go get them both. Turner for 2 years and Ozuna for 3.

Acuna RF
Freeman 1B
Ozuna LF/DH
TdA C
Turner 3B
Albies 2B
Swanson SS
Riley LF/DH
Pache CF

Man I wish the Braves would sign Ozuna and trade for Ramirez. That would make this team nearly complete imo.

I bet Turner outperforms Ozuna this year for whatever it's worth

Hey, we can dream...

If we’re dreaming can we get JRam instead of Turner?

[bravesfanforlife88]

If we’re dreaming can we get JRam instead of Turner?

That's called a wet dream....let's be a little more realistic

[Jay212033]

If we’re dreaming can we get JRam instead of Turner?

Exactly what I said! Put Ramirez in that lineup it would be insane.

[Heyward]

Dodgers could still afford Turner if they wanted, but man they'd be massively over the luxury tax. Dodgers payroll right now is 234 million lol. Not sure who they're gonna try to shed, or they're just gonna say screw it and put it all in.

[Heyward]

What about taking on AJ Pollock if the Dodgers ate some money on his deal?

[Heyward]

Ozuna 70 percent to Rays per Mish, feels weird. If he's getting a 3-4 year deal, that just seems way out of the Rays way to do something like that. But hey, if they overpaid for him, what can you do.

Mish is the one that kept insisting the Braves were making outlandish offers for Realmuto when that trade was going down. Not against being used as a Leak for negotiating purposes.

[bravesfanforlife88]

Folty close to a deal with the Rangers. Major League contract

Yes help the Dodgers that way they can throw some money in a better player.

[Heyward]

Yes help the Dodgers that way they can throw some money in a better player.

Eh, Dodgers are WAY over the luxury tax. Only thing they may do is re-sign Turner.

That's what I'm thinking. Mish being used as a mouthpiece by player/agent in an attempt to drive up bidding.

Yes and Turner make the Dodgers better.

[Enscheff]

Agreed. No way the Rays are offering Ozuna 3-4 years at an AAV of $20M.

Ozuna is at risk of going down the path towards not signing at all.

[clvclv]

Have the Dodgers fired Friedman yet?

$34 million per for a #3 starter? Wow!!!

[clvclv]

Eh, Dodgers are WAY over the luxury tax. Only thing they may do is re-sign Turner.

No reason they can't trade higher-paid guys like Kelly and Jansen and use Urias and/or Gonsolin in the pen exclusively if they want to sign Turner - attach a prospect to either and someone will take a big chunk of their money.

Pretty sure they're not worried about the luxury tax in the least.
