    After seeing the Buck news overnight, I think they need to push hard for Buxton and Ryan or Lopez. Yes, it’ll be expensive, but they’ve got an extra pick and enough money to replenish some high-end depth quickly while still having plenty of "financial flexibility." I’d still be more than happy...

    AA said Schwelly is fully healthy and pain-free.

    AA has already said ReyLo is absolutely expected to be a starter. His velocity is up and team doctors say he's 100%. But I agree with you - I'd move him to BP where's a legit weapon and sign Bassitt or trade for Gray.

    If there's a chance to get either or both, I'm in 100%! But there's just no way. lol This would be an unbelievable roster with so much flexibility, though... Acuna RF/DH Buxton LF/DH Olson 1B Riley 3B Baldwin/Murphy C Profar DH/LF Albies 2B Harris CF SS Sale - Schwelly - Ryan - Strider - Lopez

    There's just no way the Braves pay the asking price. You're looking at a current player or two, plus two or three high-end prospects.

    Coaching staff changes

    DOB: #Braves coaching news: newly hired Tommy Watkins will be third-base coach, and Eddie Pérez will be back as a major league coach. Tony Mansolino, hired last week and announced as 3B coach, will instead be the new bench coach and work with infielders, as Walt Weiss did in past.

    NL Rookie of the Year Watch

    I stopped following a few years ago when I realized our development made them mainly obsolete. We've been a bottom-10 farm system for the last three or four years, yet we constantly produce ROY candidates. It's just a fruitless follow.

    Also, those lists have become increasingly inaccurate. Player development has changed the game — so many guys come out of nowhere to become impact stars. We’ve even got a few of those ourselves. I get why the lists exist, but they end up hurting teams when there are so many bad evaluations.

    Yeah, it's a problem. But the players are OK with it, and the Dodgers' revenue model makes it no problem to pay.

    They have 87M freed up with Kershaw, Conforto, Taylor and Yates off the books. It's insane

    Dan Hayes says Tommy Watkins is landing a coaching job with the Braves, but hasn't said which role yet.

    If Drake Baldwin losses an award he's miles ahead of his competition in, I will make January 6 look like a summer cookout!

    I didn't realize Robert Suarez wasn't extended the QO. I think he/Iggy, Bassitt and Kim are probably the biggest targets for Atlanta right now. All are really great fits, too.

    Always take him with a grain of salt, but Boob Nightengale says the Braves are expected to be very aggressive this offseason.

    2025-2026 offseason thread

    They’ll either make a big trade for someone like Seager, deal for a young shortstop from a team with depth at the position, or let Allen start again. The only scenario where Allen makes sense, though, is if they add a big bat to offset his spot at the bottom of the order. But, I still hate that...
