    Wentz is perfectly fine as the last man in the pen. He is your typical mop up guy who also provides value as an emergency starter.

    The Donovan trade is really weird from the Rays POV. Almost like making a move just to say you made a move. Williamson is good defender but the projects as pretty pedestrian. Almost no power to speak of and the hit tool isn't exactly special. Seems like they have up a decent bit for a guy that...

    Perez doesn't need to be cut/DFA'd. He's on a minor league deal already. He'll be in Gwinnett to start the season, unless he just requests his release. Also, I would be surprised if Jimenez is back before June, if at all this year. AA hasn't sounded to confident on him.

    Braves TV Network Discussion

    Braves getting their own TV network the off-season before Skuball is a FA. Coincidence? I think not!

    Sure, but Bader's offensive history suggests that he is primarily a 4th OF. He's getting the contract he got entirely based on last season. Yaz is at least a starting caliber bat. Yes, he's virtually unplayable vs LHP, but vs RHP he would likely represent one of our 4 best bats while playing...

    Gioloto certainly has the higher ceiling of the two. But he comes with more risk. Either one would help the SP depth tremendously. That would give us a solid 6 SPs that you can comfortably expect to be league average as long as they are healthy, pushing Waldrep to the 6th man in this group or...

    Yaz signed for essentially the same deal as Bader. Bader is a much better defender and also plays CF, but Yaz is a far better hitter and is also a solid defender in the corners. Certainly doesn't seem like an overpay to me

    Perez is your replacement for Bryce Elder when he is traded at the end of ST.

    I feel like it's inevitable that Acuna's brother will be in Atlanta soon.

    He says he had it for 4 years. Seems like he passed our physical just fine. I think for a team to have found this out, they would have needed to take an MRI, unless we/Murphy already knew about it and it was already a part of his medical history. While I can't say for certain, I would be...

    Minor League Thread Part Deux

    I think nearly all of the Braves top prospects list are severely underestimating our hitting crop in A ball this year. Obviously no one blew the doors off, but Gil, Hartman, Drake, and Carey showed a lot of promise for guys who were all much younger than the league average. Carey in particular...

    Murphy will be out until May at the very least. He totally would get 3/45 guaranteed as a FA right now though. Teams love handing out deals like that to oft injured catchers coming off hip surgeries that are going to miss half the current season....

    I think he goes back to AZ for the value of the QO or slightly more. Maybe a player option for year 2.

    The lack of K's concerns me on Giolito. Was 2025 just an aberration or is this the pitcher he is now? Bassitt is a solid innings eater. Pretty much what we missed from Uncle Charlie last year vs 2024. I would prefer Bassitt.

    The only other explanation I can think of, is that they believe his career was built entirely on the success of Brady. And to be fair, his record in NE without Brady at QB is under .500 with no playoff wins. But Jimmy Johnson is in the HOF despite not doing anything outside of a 2 SB wins that...

    I think fans are a little naive to think that BB was the only coach doing this. He is just the only coach that got caught.

    Uh no. Biden REPEATEDLY lied about not having authority to do anything without legislation. We know for a fact that was a lie. He could have done something at any point he wanted to.. He literally had the authority the entire time. And the bill that was proposed was also BS that didn't...
