GDT 7/2: reds game 2

[msstate7]

DeGrom
Fried
Wright
Strider
Soroka

FIFY

How the hell did I forget strider? He might be our closer though

 

[Heyward]

That would make it a tougher decision for me assuming Morton continues pitching well like lately. deGrom is clearly better, but he's also very risky bc his injury concerns

Can you add a SP like DeGrom and keep Dansby or an impact bat of some kind? Plus some bullpen depth too? If you keep Charlie.

Meh, he has more of an impact in the rotation imo. Just gotta keep his innings right.

Maybe he can develop another pitch or improve one and there's no doubt about him starting

I’d go two years, $60m and still pick up Morton’s option. That’d be some sick rotational depth.

Let Swanson walk then i assume?

Lay one down here

Word is Braves had offered Verlander 1 year $25m this offseason. So adding deGrom wouldn't be that far or a stretch. Especially with ticket sales way up

Yeah you'd have to think we can afford it, especially now that Liberty's seen how much we make from deep postseason runs

 

[msstate7]

Surely the Mets would overpay the hell of degrom before they let the braves get him

or maybe DeGrom would rather come to the Braves, we dont know.

Keep in mind, that was with AA assuming we were going to resign FF as well

 

[Hulavol]

Mississippi makes a great point -DeGrom situation could be good for us either way - we could him for something we could stomach, or make the Mets outbid us and possibly regret it…

 

[The Tariff King]

DeGrom did grow up a Braves fan

well yeah he’s from DeLand, Florida.

Every Braves fan over a certain age should know who is from DeLand.

 

[USMA76]

Just hoping the second inning debacle doesn't cost us this game. Things like that have a tendency to come back and bite you in the butt.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

I can now remember at least 4 base running blunders with Duvall in his tenure as a Brave.

He has passed a base runner/let a base runner pass him during two home runs

He tagged up from first going into second and was called out to end the inning before the runner scored in Game 3 of the NLDS last season

Losing track of the count today.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Duvall benched?

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

Marcus Stroman?

 

[msstate7]

Maybe, but if the braves offer something like 25 for 1 year, I could see the Mets going like 3 for the same per year

 

[msstate7]

Duvall benched?

You know that hasn't happened. He got beaned, so it's probably hurting
