Probably. But I didn't expect they would get much for Naylor. But Suarez is by far the best bat available and Kelly is probably the best pitcher available.

He ain't going anywhere. That's you're 2026 pitching coach right there. We just can't quit him.

Obviously the plan was for JK to play well enough to tread water for a little over a month until Acuna was ready. If he had simply played near 2024 levels, he would have palatable. Unfortunately he completely forgot the tiny amount of hitting knowledge that he actually had.

I don't think most people were calling for a starter last year. Everyone was relatively healthy and Strider was effectively replaced by Schwelly. Entering the deadline, we had Fried, Sale, Lopez, and Schwelly relatively healthy and pitching well. And Morton was more than an adequate No. 5. What...

Elder was a good pitcher in 2022. It may have been smoke and mirrors, but he was most definitely an above average pitcher. Still, I think everyone mentioned we should have grabbed a more reliable starter at the deadline for the stretch run.

I think you will find most teams run into pitching injuries every year. Hell that's part of the reason we won in 2021. Both the Dodgers and Astros were without some of their top pitchers, or their top pitchers were fighting through injuries. We typically have had the pitching depth to...

We could get Fedde for free if we actually wanted him (well we'd have to pay his salary, but he wouldn't cost anything to acquire). And to TBH, he probably passes through waivers anyways and we could get him for league minimum.

Mizz likely won't even get to 100 IP for the year. Has a starting pitcher ever won ROTY with less than 100 IP that wasn't in a shortened season? I know some relievers have won, but generally those have been weak rookie classes or the RP just had an insane year, like Kimbrel. Mizz would have to...

I would assume they are sitting him so he doesn't risk further injury and then they can't move him at all. And also, it isn't like we are running bums out there to replace him. Murphy and Baldwin are both really good as well.

I mean April - May existed as well. And the last 2 years he was a top 10 hitter in the league. I think if I was a contender needing a hitter, I would absolutely send some lottery ticket type of prospects for the chance that he can run it back for the stretch run. Especially if the other team...

He still gets on base well. And there simply isn't a lot of offense available. Certainly not much that SD can afford either with prospects or with cash. I doubt we get much for him but packaging him with a reliever and eating the salary should net at least a relief prospect and a lottery...

Believe it or not, but money can be pretty valuable to teams who don't have much to spend. Someone like the Pads, for instance, who are trying to stay under the tax threshold, would likely place a good bit of value on the Braves picking up the tab on any player we trade their way.

Yup, as long as we aren't adding much salary, we need to be kicking in money in any trade to get a better return.

I haven't seen the footage to know if he actually did or if that's just what this guy is seeing himself. People have a tendency to see what they want to see.

Ronnie could very well end up on the IL. But this dude has ZERO connections to the Braves. He's basically just a podcaster. He's purely guessing here and not basing it off anything he has actually heard.

Don't sleep on Isaiah Drake either. He was our big overslot HS signee in the 2023 draft. Super talented kid that is showing some good traits this year. If he can turn his above average raw power into in-game power, the kid is gonna be a stud.

Whose leg I gotta hump to get a dark mode here, huh?

This is how you do a quick reset. If they sell all 4 of those players, they are about to add 4-5 top 100 caliber prospects, plus some lottery ticket types. And they are clearing additional payroll for the rest of 2025, which could help them be more aggressive in FA.

Cold weather kid too. Comes from an athletic family. They tend to fly under the radar.

Caminiti tonight: 4 IP, 0 ER, 5 Ks, 2 BBs, 2 H Eric Hartman stays hot with 2 hits so far tonight and a SB. He just might be a dude.
