2025-2026 offseason thread

[Hudson2]

Yeah AA has become super predictable. We already know the exact things he's gonna say word for word when he strikes out.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Everyone has AA pegged now. I want a GM that can register on a testosterone level reading

but have you seen his spikey hair and new dye job..nice ozempic slender face.. dude is a manly man..

 

[Jaw]

I haven’t seen a lot of signings I would have wanted him to make so far. It’s still super early, wait a couple of months before you start perfume shopping for him.

A few years ago, I would have agreed. But after the last offseason and the season that followed, Braves fans are getting a little antsy....and for good reason.

I'm starting to think our GM is the cuck in the situation. Brother just watches others do the damn thing lmao

Diddy tried to make cuckin' cool again. MCCA!

Weiss said he’s open to Acuña moving back to the leadoff spot. He understands Reynaldo Lopez is a bullpen option, but he said he’ll stretch out as a starter in Spring Training. He also said he’d be very comfortable with Dubon being the everyday shortstop

 

[bravesfanMatt]

FUCK..i am trying to forget this idiot is the new manager...

 

[Hudson2]

So we are being prepped by AA and Bowman that the rotation looks better than last year and isn't as bad as it was and Dubon is ok at SS and we don't need another bat?

If there was no injury concern, Sale - Schwelly - Strider - Lopez - Holmes is pretty damn good, but the posturing is absolutely wild.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Also, Heyman confirmed earlier we indeed were in on Diaz. Not just posturing in this case.

in that scenario, Waldrep gets the nod over Holmes imo...

He should but AA is hardcore about options, so they likely hold him down for a bit barring an injury or two.

Holmes starting will be hurt in less than 2 months imo and will have to have TJ. Lopez we already know won't make it to the ASB starting. The rest are coin tosses. We do have another better depth than last year but with the guys AA has assembled that depth can be chewed up fast.

Supposedly Diaz was pissed the Mets let Hefner go so maybe there could have been some mutual interest

 

[Tapate50]

We have a lot of unproven depth, but I mean thats not unique. Our top P prospects in that 7\8\9 option range are likely way better than we've had in the past.

I did NOT know Hugh was a big Mets guy.

 

[Hudson2]

Diaz would have been exciting and made the bullpen a strength. There are still plenty of options out there that can help out.

 

[cajunrevenge]

For Marte I can only see a trade where we take back Eduardo Rodriguez.

It would have to cut down on the cost bc E Rod hasn't been very good in Arizona and is owed 2/40

“Mr. Anthopolous, my client would be very interested in joining the Braves.”

“How much?”

“23 million”

“How many years?”

“3”

“I like what we’re saying. Let’s get him in here for a physical.”

“Just to be clear, that’s 23 million per year over 3.”
