2018 Offseason And Targets

[CJ9]

I believe there only three options:
1. Don’t sign no one and upgrade our Rotation.
2. Trade for Haniger or a real upgrade.
3. Sign Markakis for 1 year.

#3 is exactly what I'm scared of.

He'll go to a contending team now. He shouldn't care about money since he's getting paid.

With that Cutch deal, I'm mentally preparing myself now to see Nick Markakis, 4-hole hitter roll on for the Braves for at least 1 more year.

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

Great analysis! That’s pretty obvious.

1. Get worse
2. Get better
3. Stay the same

Actually think this would qualify under "get worse"

I don’t know why we don’t give the chance to Hamilton 1 year deal. Maybe Seitzer he can work some magic.

3/50 for McCutchen.

MLBTR had him at 3/45, and they have been a bit light on all the FAs who have currently signed.

Beating 3/50 would have been pretty rough, so I’m not too upset AA didn’t go there.

Just wait until we sign Markakis or Cargo!!

Absent all other possible avenues, probably.

However, I have to assume AA has a trade for someone like Haniger or Frazier primed, otherwise he wouldn’t be bidding on Happ.

LOL DOB shot down Puig rumor earlier, now Bowman does this. They're awful.

Or Pederson/Puig/Rosario etc. Too man many options for people to worry about resigning Markakis or whatever yet

Lumping Cutch in with Markakis and Cargo seems...dumb. I really hope the JD signing doesn’t force the Braves to punt LF in 2019.

Puig has always made some sense despite the protestations of the folks blabbering about the clubhouse.

I'd be all over Puig, tbh.

to be fair puig has totally killed the dodgers the last 2 years.

Heyman: "Being told Folty, Inciarte and Swanson are all “staying put.” At least that’s the plan. Braves are looking to add, not subtract, off their nice year. #braves"

So total rebuild is off the table, then?

 

[TheRunningAgent]

This is why I think the Braves are waiting to see who signs Harper and if it’s the Dodgers, AA goes back to his buddies and works a deal for Pederson.
