Sale extension
Acuna extension (ill advised imo)
Baldwin extension

This will be some of it imo

I would be shocked if a Sale extension doesn't happen. He seems to be the next Morton for AA, which is fantastic.

Baldwin extension makes sense if he takes the Harris deal. While Harris is looking bad now, the extension was a reasonable gamble at the time, and a similar gamble on a young catcher also makes sense.

Extending Acuna would be a disaster unless it's as team friendly as his current contract.
 
Lane Thomas could be a nice buy low option for RH CF

ETA... career .859 ops vs lhp. He's my new favorite target for rh cf. Is plantar fasciitis a recurring deal?

Fine, and on a team that had the worst OF in baseball for the 1st half, JK was sporting a .600 ops in AAA. They aren't similar, at all.

And who are some of the trade options? It's easy to just jump on a suggestion, but you won't make one yourself.

What about 2024 JK is hard to understand? I wasn't referencing his 2025 performance at all.

You bitched about JK all of 2024. Now you're advocating signing a guy who over the last 4 years has extremely similar offensive numbers as 2024 JK. That's entirely the point.


And I literally pointed out 3 different options off the top of my head that I recall were involved in rumors at the deadline. Ward, Kwan, and Nootbaar. I haven't even looked at anyone to know or care whether they are available, but there most definitely will be several others.

There's a chance the braves may see Eli white as the rh cf option and get a corner OF

I think Eli has proven that he is a guy who can be very good in spurts, but with regular playing time he gets worse.

Most guys improve with regular AB’s, but Eli seems to be the opposite.
