That was pretty cool to see the entire Braves infield in the game at the same time.

It's actually interesting that they tried to reset their payroll but weren't even able to get below the luxury tax threshold.

Is Braves legend Adonis Garcia pitching to his brother Adolis in the home run derby?

For what it's worth, Baseball Reference currently gives the Mets a less than 0.1% chance to win the division. And their playoffs odds are currently at 5.3%.

The bullpen may not be a weakness, but I'd love to add one more late inning proven guy. I'm not sure how confident I'd feel in the playoffs with Yates, Anderson or Chavez trying to be the bridge to Iglesias (who has also been shaky at times). Those guys are good but I could also easily see them...

That makes sense, because it really feels like the Braves have been in just about every game this year with a chance to win it. Can't remember very many games where it felt like they had no shot.

There was a time not too long ago when a sale of the team would be preferable. Now, I'm not so sure. Things are running so smoothly, the payroll is beyond probably what most of us thought it could be at this point, and the future continues to be very bright. Most importantly, Liberty allows the...

There are rumors that the Padres could pivot to being sellers at the trade deadline and actually consider moving Soto, even though he's not a free agent until next off season. I doubt the Braves have enough of a package to land him, and not sure they could take on the salary either, but imagine...

Who knows what the future holds. But it's pretty fun to dream on the future and having this good young hitting core locked up together for at least 4 years after this one. That's assuming both of Ozzie's team options are picked up.

AA seems to cherish team chemistry and a good clubhouse so I'm not sure he was ever an option. Just last year he was left off the Yankees post season roster because he decided to skip a mandatory team workout.

I get the impression Cohen is adament about competing every year, so I don't see a way the Mets are competitive if they trade Verlander and Scherzer. They simply don't have the pitching and would once again have to rely on free agents. They have to hope for bounce backs across the board from...

Cohen does not strike me as the type that would be interested in a significant trade like that within the division. Nor do I think we have the prospect capital they'd be looking for in return if they ate a large chunk of salary.

But his ISO is also way down. I haven't dug into why his power numbers are down across the board, but that's a significant drop as well.

Well Contreras was special when he was here. His hitting has clearly regressed from last year though.

Was just looking back at the trade history for the Braves under AA. So far there has really been nobody he's traded that has developed into anything special. Really gives validation to the fact that the organization really knows how to identify talent. I wonder if this type of track record makes...

I was just also reading how few teams are truly out of it this year, due to the expanded wild card and weak Central divisions. So there will be few sellers and many buyers, driving the prices up.

These things usually have a way of working themselves out. Let's see where they all stand health wise/results wise in a month from now.

To be fair, Buck has been there a year and a half and last year won manager of the year in the NL. Would they really consider firing him half a season later??? There's no guarantee the next option would be any better with this roster.

I don't think it's any secret they are waiting on David Stearns contract with the Brewers to end.

Mets owner Steve Cohen giving a press conference. Not really sure why it was necessary. I appreciate he's passionate but it makes me appreciate that we don't have a meddling owner.
