That was kind of my point with the sour grapes comment and the other replies about former players, coaches and GM's. It just seems to happen frequently, and it's been going on for years. This was just the new regime's way of tipping off yesterday that they knew Maitan would be lost. Then...

Too early in his development to make that determination. Coupled with the timing of statements from unnamed sources, draw you own conclusions.

One lower IQ Braves fan, apparently have taken to Twitter and comments sections, wondering about the likelihood of losing Acuna.

It may be a little of both, but it's part of a pattern. When somebody exits the organization, there frequently are negative statements issued. For once, they should be professional and accept a parting of company without slamming the former player, coach, GM, etc.

What's the deal with the sour grapes statements about Maitan?

It's those plus the human element. Being able to interact in a professional way with peers holds sway. Hard for those posting "Braves Way" here and at MLBTR but being a real GM isn't like being a fantasy league team owner. Difficult as it is for some others to comprehend..

Oh! Ho! Ho! So funny! :JSIDK:

The usual panic sets in before all the facts are known.

That one year of control on Heyward netted the very useful and effective Miller, who we all know brought more bounty. Inciarte, alone, was worth the price of admission. Sorry to repeat myself, but anything that Swanson ultimately accomplishes is gravy.

All these external sources indicate that the talent pool is deep, which made the job attractive. Yet at least one certain someone here makes it seem as if there's Albies, Acuna, Inciarte, lucking out on Gohara and nothing else to show.

Enscheff is just venting, because none of his 57 voicemails got returned for requesting an interview.

Glad to be not the only one who's noticed.

Excellent post!

All right! Something that's never been discussed here before! Just last week, there was an article in WSJ about the Astros. After they lost over 100 games, supposedly they became the most analytically-driven team. (Don't know if it's exaggerated and don't care.) Along the way, it was...

Trade him. He's in decline.

It used to be that Christmas decorations and promotions didn't start in the stores until the day after Thanksgiving or what is now commonly known as Black Friday. Now it happens before Halloween. So, there's another point of reference.

It was a reaction. A good many of the contributors here are OCD about Tweets, have complete emotional breakdowns over minor trade announcements. Beware of the clusters that are GDT's. So don't point a finger at me for excessive negativity here. OK, this is a reasonable alternative to...

Yes, read that and it's still premature. It's understood, however, that there are those with a constant need to feel "engaged," so then this probably means a great deal to them.

Or what he just said!
