Not even bothering to check on Schumaker’s interest is already mistake #1 of the offseason by AA. So far AA has bungled the only possible decision he could have made (assuming Snits retirement really was his call), so he’s currently 0 for 1.

Be ready for Fraley to be Ozuna’s replacement.

So he makes Ross look like a genius hire.

Guy at MLBTR is predicting Gibbons due to his Jays/AA connection. He's managed the Jays twice, never won much of anything, took several years off after being fired, and has spent 2 seasons as the Mets bench coach where he's learned...let me check my notes...how to underperform with a huge...

If true it’s already mistake #1 of the offseason, and means they never had a chance at Schumaker because they forgot to send him a text.

Watching the absolute filth these playoff teams roll out of the BP inning after inning makes it painfully obvious how far the Braves BP has fallen behind the top contending teams. I just watched a guy named Vargas for the Ms throw a 97 mph cutter for a K in the 11th inning, and the announcers...

Trading Contreras for Murphy is the exact moment AA started to think he was smarter than he actually is. Hopefully he’s stopped drinking his own bath water and goes back to making solid moves.

Damn. The clear best option available is Melvin with chipper as hitting coach.

If true this is a bigger deal than any managerial choice. My uninformed opinion is chipper has more to do with the offensive success of this club than any other non-player in the entire organization.

Trading Murphy to the Rays is a solid plan, but the timing is not realistic. The only worse move than not trading him at the deadline would be selling low on him coming off surgery.

Don't get me started on AA fucking up the chance to sell high on Murphy. If a catcher takes more than a handful of DH PAs in 2026, that means AA fucked up yet again.

Having more injuries than any roster could reasonably overcome is not an excuse for having zero depth. It's literally the most illogical argument anyone could make in defense of having zero depth. Furthermore, the Braves did not lose the most projected WAR to injury, not even close. The Astros...

There could be worse options than Ross, but almost anything is better than Snit. The Braves don't need a tactical mastermind. Merely upgrading to a competent tactician should be good enough for this team to play up to expectations.

The Braves have historically placed a lot more predictive value than most other teams on glimpses of greatness guys show, and project them to be that great more frequently in the future. That tactic seems to be their secret sauce in finding guys like Strider and Schwelly and Harris and Baldwin...

Of the 3 gambles AA took that off season the biggest risk was Sale never staying healthy. In fact, he's been injured the time the Braves needed him most last October, and broke a rib landing on perfectly manicured grass. Rolling the dice on Kelenic turning into the LF version of Riley was...

Snitker has never been a lame duck manager, and he was this year. That should tell you all you need to know. He was not going to manage in 2026, no matter how it ended up being spun. And it doesn't matter. This was the correct move, which does matter.

Who is this idiot? There are currently no such prop bets, and this list is made by a complete buffoon.

That's fine, this team won't be contending long.

I have no idea why anyone thinks DeRosa is a valid option. He has exactly zero managerial/coaching experience. The things he says on TV verge on complete stupidity about the modern game. He is not a serious candidate to be the manager of a contending MLB team. Nobody from within the...

Handled exactly the way I suggested. The off season is starting well. Hopefully the next order of business is an announcement that Kim is returning for 2026.
