Looking Ahead - The 2020 Offseason Thread

How bout Derek Dietrich or marwin Gonzalez? Wouldn't their LH bat be a good fit?

Brad Miller is my top pick.

I heard that the possible trade of Jose Ramirez to the Braves, would involve the following players:

- RHP Joel De La Cruz
- C Shea Langeliers
- 3B Austin Riley
- OF Drew Waters

Should leave at least $10-12M in budget if #Braves go to $140M, which I think is the approximate budget. That could leave enough to sign a Melancon, or they could spread it between, say, Greene and Duvall, or players of their ilk.

In that case, i'd do that deal in a heart beat.

[Freshmaker]

Man that would be amazing, but not sure if the Indians really wanna go all in on a rebuild or not. They already have the 3rd lowest payroll in baseball I believe.

Zero reason to say no to this.

[bravesfanMatt]

Do that deal yesterday. Toss newk in as a bonus.

[Sheffield10]

I don’t know why... but I have this looming feeling Waters will be a stud. Nothing to back it up... just a feeling lol. But that is really hard to decline for 3 years of JRam

[Hudson2]

Agree with y’all. If that deal is possible it should already be done. That offense would be flat out nasty. Duvall, Greene, and JRam could be possible.

I would still get a LH outfielder instead of Duvall. Puig maybe to platoon with Pache. But JRam would give you 4 MVP caliber hitters in the lineup with ozzie as a sleeper 5th.

Ozuna was a candidate in a 60-game season but i feel we should really temper our expectations of him. he’s never really been MVP-caliber before.

I would be shocked if it were Joel De La Cruz seeing that he hasn't pitched since winter ball in 2017-2018. I think they mean Jasseel De La Cruz.

[Deester11]

Oh and to all you fools who wer all panicky and worried AA was too safe. See, he knows what he is doing.

You don't have to be a fool to think that AA may have left some meat on the bone. He has been cautiously patient and that's good.....and unnerving at the same time. I didn't imagine him getting Ozuna for that price as well as years. I still think a couple of the pitchers are log jam AAAA fodder and the time is probably right to ease that situation in the right deal.

Now get JRam and let's play ball!

[Sheffield10]

Dodgers also traded Yordan Alvarez.

[Southcack77]

I forgot he was on the team.

[Hudson2]

He got the salary at 12 million this year for a reason. Puig could be gotten pretty cheap I’d think at a couple of million. He probably had to wait and see what Ozuna was gonna cost to see what his budget was gonna look like before doing anything else.

Dietrich as a bat only player would be nice, but didn't we already sign Panda, or was that a minor league deal?

[bravesfanMatt]

Agreed. But we don’t really know so I tossed him in. I am fine with lumping him with Ozzie as perineal all star with potential to be more.
