Braves listed among the top trade partners for Sonny Gray. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/10/looking-for-a-match-in-a-sonny-gray-trade-2.html

On that note, I actually think Dave Roberts is a robot. The front office clearly makes every decision there.

Also feel like that needs to be a pre-requisite in today's game. If for no other reason than to be able to form a deeper connection with half the roster.

Way to throw your star player under the bus.... https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/46618538/phillies-dombrowski-wonders-harper-elite-again

Not sure but I am a bit surprised nothing has leaked out even as far as someone having interviewed or being requested for an interview. Just saw the Padres already had two potential candidates linked to them. Including old friend Flaherty.

Well Dodgers bench coach Danny Lehmann was mentioned as an option and he might not be available until after. He's someone AA crossed paths with during his time in LA.

Plus you just don't know if Wheeler will ever be the same. They are going to have to spend a ton this off season just to get close to the level they were at this year.

While I do agree for the most part, my opinion is that certain fan bases are more complacent and accepting of mediocrity. I do believe that rubs off on the players in some ways. It's just the playoffs have become such a crap shoot that you can't really use them as evidence of anything.

I get it. And obviously the legion of lunatics is a small subset of the entire fan base. Clearly everyone doesn't behave that way. I just wish there was more urgency to win in Atlanta.

As a New Yorker, I could see why people would feel this way about NYC. In my own observation, Yankees fans are certainly elitist, acting like they are the only thing that matters, and their writers are a different breed. But NYC is a different type of place. There is a passion that runs deeply...

Yep, playoff Fried showed up today

Bob Melvin address his future. Found this part interesting. There’s a number of vacancies all around baseball (including attractive jobs in places like Atlanta and Baltimore), and a three-time Manager of the Year with 1678 wins under his belt seems certain to be an attractive potential...

If you read the quotes in this article from when Ross was hired by the Cubs, it doesn't sound like he's necessarily someone who's embraced the modern game. Sure, this is 2019 and he surely could have grown since then. And to being directed by upper management, Theo said: “If you want to hire a...

Yes, simply because the Braves have shown a commitment to be a top 10 payroll, are generating their own revenue from the Battery, and have less revenue uncertainty through their TV contract than others. It really does feel like the gap between the haves and have nots is widening, and the...

Is this the guy who said Ike Davis is better than Freeman?

I agree with all of this especially the last sentence. Whoever is brought in is unfortunately going to have to understand how to smartly and forcefully coddle Acuna. It doesn't appear Snitker ever figured it out so he was totally hands off with him.

Terry McGuirk is 74 now, and doesn't appear to be anything more than a bean counter at this point. I doubt he has any meaningful input here.

Obviously Buck Showalter is out there, but he seems like someone unwilling to adjust to the modern game also. I see Dave Martinez mentioned, didn't realize he was 61. His record with the Nationals is 500-622. While it's true much of that was during a rebuild, I do remember some underwhelming...

It doesn't matter now, but my hope is AA was going to let Snit make the decision for himself to retire, and if not, have to have a tough conversation with him about not coming back. It would appear Snit chose to make the decision himself.

Thats what the ESPN article speculates as well. But it's just speculation. Does anyone recall much about Ross when he managed the Cubs? I just know it didn't work out. DeRosa I don't see why he should even be considered. Does he have management experience?
