    2025-2026 offseason thread

    this offseason: I don't think the Braves will be the high bidder on premium contracts because nothing suggests that they will ever be the high bid on those contracts whether they have money or not. It also seems like a fairly lousy setup for the positions they need to fill. Starting pitching...

    2025-2026 offseason thread

    I think that they had money but got consistently outbid on the ones they liked and were unwilling to forgo the cap reset to overpay and over commit to players they did not have confidence in. I think if they could have gotten players at their number they would not have reset the cap. To some...

    I think they were looking for people to pitch conletent innings n last season's team while also taking a few flyers.

    I don't think his era particularly figures into it. Were his peripherals good? Velo, movement, walks.

    If Charlie Morton was worth 20...this seems like a low valuation. Probably when everyone agrees it would be good, it's too low.

    New Manager Discussion

    Maybe the real story is that someone wanted a former manager to babysit Lehman (perhaps Gibbons was suggested and was willing and Weiss was not) and Lehman wasn't willing to accept that. I think people get fixated on candidates sometimes and make them more important than they really are...

    The Braves beat is pretty pathetic. for all his sucking up DOB never has any scoop. The big fella does a little better sometimes but the breaks always seem to come from national sources

    I don't really see what control or influence Snitker would have had on the decision. It's hard for me to believe McGuirk cares that much. This seems like maybe a Clubhouse/ alumni thing perhaps? I'm genuinely surprised and disappointed. But at the end of the day I don't think the manager...

    I keep seeing people talking about trading the expensive reliever they don't like but it begs a question

    2025-2026 offseason thread

    Play in winter leagues. Big name players did it regularly at one point and may still. Seemed like it was important. Or the writers found it interesting for a bit and overdid it maybe.

    I feel like Bonds was almost pushed into taking Roids so I never blamed him too much. Bonds becoming a God put one trick clowns like McGwire back in their proper context.

    Didn't andruw and Manny Ramirez and others do this back in the day? I think it's a big deal.

    The major league roster is a lot more important than a draft pick.

    2025-2026 offseason thread

    In my view there is no reason a reasonably big market team like the the Braves should base their offseason around preserving their second draft pick.

    If the Rangers flipped Seagar after getting his best years that would be some strong GM-ing.

    Almost doesn't matter how much you spend on a 1 year deal. So Gray seems reasonable. I do not think that the Braves will be winning any battles for the top free agents.

    The job is literally managing wealthy and not wealthy adult men from wildly divergent backgrounds over a 162 game season, which Vitello has never done.
