As has been stated before, Sale and Kelenic are higher risk, higher upside moves. I think AA’s calculus is that even if they bust, the 2024’Braves still are one of the best teams in baseball assuming health. If one or both hits (and by hit in Sale’s case it’s him staying relatively healthy for...

So our 40 man is currently at 36, correct?

$1m per year is laughable for top level, quality (proven) POBOs at the MLB level. David Stearns just got $50m over 5 years guaranteed (so $10m per) from the Mets, and USA Today says the average salary for a POBO is $2.5m last year. Andrew Friedman got 5 years/$35m from LA (so $7m per year)...

Our most important move hasn’t been made yet- and no, I’m not talking about another quality SP although I agree that’s necessary (whether it’s done this winter or during the season before the playoffs). AA is entering the last year of his 3 year contract. We need to lock him up for a long time...

You know, I wonder if AA has reached out to his good friend Dana about Framber Valdez. After all, he drafted Bryce Elder in the 5th round as an overpay and Vaughn in the 11th after personally scouting Grissom. Not saying that’s enough, just saying Dana May value those players more than other orgs

The talent is there. He had an average exit velocity over 91 mph last year, which is a lot better than average. He also hit a ball 114 mph last year, which only 6% of players in MLB achieved - so the power is there. If the Braves feel they can improve his patience and outside chase rate, they...

You double it and then perhaps apply a 10% “all your eggs in a single basket” discount. So figure somewhere around $550m for at least 10 years. Some teams like the Padres like to go longer with a slightly lower AAV so figure they may offer something like 13/650.

Honestly, I have no tolerance for the word. Zero. Zilch. As a person of color, it’s abhorrent and beneath humanity. That said, and I make no excuses for Glen, but I also do think context and a person’s heart do factor into something. I doubt the man was “excited” (per the museum’s director...

That’s presuming both 40+ year olds make it to the end of the season healthy. That’s asking a lot, Funny that Max intentionally chose not to appeal because he figured he could pitch the last game against the Braves in this series only to get pushed out to their next series with Detroit.

He’s not appealing- most likely so he can pitch that final game against us.

Ironic that he's showing glove first considering every report I read on him said his bat was what was his loudest tool (some said he had elite bat speed and projection). He's a big guy but there are large SSs now in MLB - if he fills out more, though, he projects more as a 3B than a SS...

What did he say, exactly? I am blacked out :/

You guys jinxed him. Painter has been shut down with a UCL sprain (a majority of cases end up with surgery but he’s shut down at least a month before even being able to throw again).

RIP. It's always sad to lose a member of these communities, even if they are simply virtual forums. It blows my mind to think how long I've been posting or how long some of you have been on these forums. For me it's got to be at least 23 years now. I still remember posting my interview with...

Links?

Eh not really. Maybe for Bryce sure. But he's all batting average - terrible power, walk rates, etc. His positional versatility is a plus but the Twins are clearly selling high (as would I).

Because we were managed poorly the first month of the season and now every game is life or death for the division title so we're not subbing in Grissom (when we have an off day tomorrow as well) before the Mets series.

Im 100% with you- I don’t think she’s in the least bit attractive but hey, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Ozuna’s Pour Choices

Supposedly McNeil just has a cut finger but no news on Escobar. McNeil won’t be out more than a game most likely
