No more than Swanson’s wife getting him to Chicago. Where she plays played a huge role.

I’m curious what Swanson wanted before free agency started and AA still said nah, we’re good.

Anyone else read this and think Dansby kept trying over and over to leave money on the table to remain a Brave and AA basically said “thanks but not thanks?” I don’t know how much Dansby would have to come down to have come to an agreement but it almost feels like AA was intent on moving on...

I can’t imagine he wouldn’t know. Would he? No way.

Not only is this completely underwhelming and doesn’t really achieve what we truly need, imagine how ****ty things will look if Acuña or Harris go down for an extended period. An outfield of Rosario, Luplow, Harris/Acuña, in this scenario, with Ozuna at dh is a train wreck.

Now I’m convinced we’re out of money. Not sure how or why with the recent World Series and the Battery as a cash cow, but here we are.

Coming off a major shoulder injury and having missed an entire year? I’ll be shocked if he gets a long term deal. Although with how dumb owners are and in this market, who knows.

A 1 year deal for Conforto doesn’t make him an every day OF?

Lol I don’t know what’s more concerning at this point: if we sign Conforto at all or if we sign him but give him too many years? The longer this goes on the more it feels like it won’t happen. We’ll see soon enough I guess.

Lol can’t tell if this is sarcasm…I’ve enjoyed their crying for the better part of the last 3 decades.

Hahahaha watching the Mets fans meltdown would be glorious. I think Cohen needs at least another 4-5 seasons of finishing in second before he taps out and sells.

I believe Cohen is playing real life fantasy baseball and the Mets are his team.

27 million a year for a 30 year old pitcher. What could go wrong. Fried will be 30 or 31 when he’s a free agent. That’s likely the starting point when he hits free agency in 2025. He gone. I wonder if we do trade him ahead of his free agency to recoup something? It’s hard when we’re contending...

I mean you said "I think we are done guys." Lol that literally cannot be interpreted any other way. Maybe you meant we are done (acquiring big players either through free agency or via a trade), but you didn't elaborate beyond your simple statement of "we are done." I simply stated we've spent...

What is the current going rate for a single WAR? I ask bc I'm curious what you think AA has offered/deemed Dansby to be worth per year/over the life of a contract.

Murphy extension incoming. Who else needs to be extended? I guess they could try and re-sign Fried again (assuming they've already tried). But if they're not going to spend the money on free agents then they'll likely continue to invest in their current players like they've been doing.

Lol and just start the season with 3 empty holes on the 40 man? We're not done and to think we are is foolish. I saw a graphic yesterday that showed how much money each team has spent in free agent dollars. I think they had us at 1 million. If you think we're spending 1 million dollars this...

Yikes. I don’t think anyone wants to pay Dansby when he’s 39. He doesn’t hit a lot of hrs and he doesn’t steal a lot of bases. A lot of his value is tied to his defense. Once that declines, that contract isn’t going to look so good. Pass.

I don’t agree with this. We are, we just have a different philosophy of building a roster than other teams. AA likes to build around value vs investing the majority of his payroll in 2-3 guys. He has the money and has invested it in our team. Just in other ways.

I just looked and these are the ss free agents next season. Only two names here worth a damn. Amed Rosario and Tim Anderson. Javier Baez Brandon Crawford Urshela Amed Rosario Nick Ahmed IKF Miguel Rojas Paul DeJong Tim Anderson
