It almost hurt us when Harris won ROY over Strider. If Strider would've won it, he wasn't on enough top 100s to earn the pick even though he broke camp with the team.

Not sure if this was posted earlier, but Didier Fuentes is now ranked as the #80 prospect by Fangraphs. https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board "Fuentes is a loose, undersized righty who allowed just 80 baserunners and struck out 98 in 75.2 innings in 2024, mostly living off his ability...

Have to keep Baldwin in there no matter what. At this point, there is no clear NL Rookie of the Year candidate. Baldwin winning it would give us an extra first round pick in 2026.

Or we'll be coming up with mock trade packages for Ozuna and Iglesias.

One creative route I hope they consider - when Murphy returns, give Baldwin some reps in left field in a hybrid catcher/LF role. Kiley McDaniel reported during the offseason that the Braves considered it down the stretch last year to get Baldwin’s bat in the lineup, so we know they’re at least...

I remain stunned that David Roberston is still unsigned.

Chavez called up, Neris DFA. From 7th inning in a one-run game to DFA over three days ... incredible stuff from the guy in the dugout.

Snit sounds like he’s done after this year: https://x.com/mlbtrbraves/status/1906478596014875004?s=46&t=t7xpFDjlFYkGV6nUElb0dA

He threw seven pitches. Give Pierce the 7th, too.

Pierce Johnson here but Neris in the 7th inning with a lead. Snit is drawing names out of a hat.

Do you feel better posting the same things over and over?

Cease is so good.

Allen is like 4-7 against Cease. Hard to tell if Snit is dumb enough to think that means something or if this is the start of Allen actually cutting into Arcia’s playing time. Hopefully the latter.

All of the relievers we were connected to were before the Profar deal, right? I'm wondering if he just decided to pivot to Profar over a high priced reliever - and I actually like that decision. Again not trying to say he's blameless at all here. The pen sucks.

I don’t blame anyone for AA frustration because of the bullpen. The only hesitation I have with it is we don’t know payroll restrictions he was given. It’s clear a decision was made above him to reduce payroll in the middle of our World Series window. We just don’t know by how much.
