Trades/acquisitions

[chopdrew]

I'd bet almost anything the Braves have higher TV ratings than the Hawks.

To be fair, the Hawks did just have the best season in their franchise's history. It wouldn't shock me if Hawks playoff games were higher rated than Braves regular season. I'm a local, and there was some legitimate "Hawks Fever" going around. What SJ24 is ignoring is the Braves being a regional team. Inside the city proper, the Falcons probably do have more juice. But in the suburbs, including the suburb the Braves moved to, all through the Carolinas, Tennessee, and as far west as Louisiana, the Braves have a significant footprint. Not to mention the new ballpark being a work of art and the area the Ted was in being a total ****hole. I love the city, but that's not a good part of town. At all.

Anyway, let's get some bp help. Or Josh Donaldson. Dealer's choice.

Rosenthal: Yankees acquiring LHP Andrew Heaney from Angels

Does anyone at all actually care about the Hawks?

I'm not a Georgian so I dunno. I thought not though.

Braves are bigger business than the Dawgs.

Baseball is just not as passionate.

The Hawks are the hottest team here and it’s not close.
One of the wildest environments I’ve been to at a sporting event this past season.
They are pretty much the Braves circa 1991 right now
I’m not getting into the debate going on right now but the Hawks are pretty popular around downtown and the suburbs right now

May be 6:00 PM before all trades are announced. Just have to be in the MLB offices by 4:00PM.

Any major trade is going to get leaked by 4:00 PM EST.

TV ratings, social media engagement, total local revenue, etc.

The Braves are 3rd in their own state. They are definitely behind Georgia Bulldogs football, too.

It doesn't have to be that way.

The Yankees, Cubs, Dodgers, Giants, Red Sox, etc. are wildly popular in cities with MORE competition than the Braves have.

We are a **** franchise with a **** GM and **** ownership. John Malone cares more about acquiring more land in Montana than winning the East.

Is what it is. The 90s are never coming back.

Holy racism Batman.

There have been plenty of big trades not leaked until after

Is the only big name left Bryant? I'd be shocked if he wasn't traded.

Sounds like he is staying put

True. But the Rockies are kinda dumb so who knows how motivated they are to trade him.

Kris Bryant is going to the #SFGiants

 

[thewupk]

Good for the Giants.

There are going to be a couple of unhappy teams when only one makes the NLCS after all the moves that have been made.

Gonna get buxton or Bryant.

Well there goes that

Or none

As expected, Braves do not address the bullpen. Shocker

Exactly what most of us expected....a few fringe adds, nothing more. Bad job.
