I guess people read what they want to read. I never said that they should go into immediate rebuild mode. I said they should consider a bridge rebuild as a real alternative. Who knows, Touki and Wright may suddenly become good enough to replace Soroka and good Folty, Newcomb may suddenly become...

Do I expect the Braves to trade Freeman? No. I included him because he's only got one more year. Would I trade him? Only IF the return was good enough to justify figuring out how to replace him for 2021. And face it, it's expected from me. The rest is something that should be considered no...

3 of the 4 engines are on fire. There's a hurricane building over the carrier. But yeah, no need to even think about bailing out and flying another day. Fly that plane on in. We got a battle to win....and maybe a war to lose.

From MLBTR: "The trade deadline is August 31st. ONLY players in the 60-man player pool may be traded. Any player that is traded must go into an acquiring team’s player pool. (As a practical matter, it seems there’s nothing to stop teams from adding prospects to the 60-man player pool...

With great power comes great responsibility

I just don't believe in half measures. Sure, winning the division the last two years is better than being horrible. However, the point of rebuilding (or in this case reloading) is to create a team that can win championships. The Braves are on a current run of not advancing past the first round...

No. He had value if for not but potential alone. But, the decision was made to keep him as a cornerstone of the future. That has failed miserably. Face it. They went with a "reload" strategy. Some has worked. A lot has not. Folty definitely didn't work.

Good thing the Braves didn't trade that Folty guy when they were rebuilding....:Sad:

gotta protect the brand

You can't truly explain or explore anything in 15 second sound bytes. Social media has brain washed most into not being able to handle more than 15 seconds of anything. Let's just play baseball.

The Stone Mountain Statues - worst defensive team of all time (-1865) WAR

Do you think the players that are opting out are going home and climbing under their beds? Of course not. They are just as likely, if not more so, going home and getting it at the grocery store or from a neighbor or from the postman who sneezes on their mail, etc. etc. The numbers are high...

Probably the end of his career then

2020: MLB's 60 game love riot

2020: Taking the CHOP to Seattle

I showed up for the Murder Hornets and all I got was this lousy Pandemic

I wonder what happens to those veterans signed to minor league contracts? Alonso, Culberson, Hernandez, Ortega, Rusin, Solarte and Tomlin for the Braves. Also, what about late FA signees? I could see some potential value at the right price for Zobrist, Wright, Russell, Puig, Martin, Harvey...

I guess LA will be #fortheLofit

The wrist reminds me of Rick Sutcliffe of the Cubs but he was a Righty. Maybe Kent Merker?

I think it's another $750K + the 5% added to slot
