There will be more moves. And I feel very confident AA has more money to play with than we realized. Good stuff.
Good catchers arent easy to find. I dont think it's crazy. I dont know if the Seager stuff is true but Murphy with other pieces for Seager would work.Keep dreaming on the Murphy trade, but I would imagine there is next to zero chance it happens this off-season. He isn't going to hold any real value until he proves he's healthy.
Yeah his deal for what he brings isn't that bad. But AA would no doubt wanna get it below 30 per. With the extra draft pick and having a high pick at 9 he'd probably be more willing to trade some.I mean, Seager has 6/189 left on his deal, thats honestly market value at this point. But you'd hope a little bit if we gave them a good prospect in return plus Murphy.
Bowman said the Braves are still pursuing shortstop.
Idk if they'll wait for Boras and Kim. Dubon as a backup is perfect, an everyday guy is very much needed. No idea if they can do Seager but fuck it, go all in.Bowman said the Braves are still pursuing shortstop.
There aren't a ton of options. Seager, Kim, Crawford maybe?Bowman said the Braves are still pursuing shortstop.
Bichette technically but he's more of a 2B.There aren't a ton of options. Seager, Kim, Crawford maybe?
Like Cheff said earlier. 5 years down the road won't matter on Seagers salary with everybody else gone or rebuilding so just go for it while we have Sale and Acuna. There comes a time to push the chips in and now is definitely the time.Idk if they'll wait for Boras and Kim. Dubon as a backup is perfect, an everyday guy is very much needed.

Yeah and the Braves like defense and the pick won't be lost imo.Bichette technically but he's more of a 2B.
I don't think they were gonna trade him. The Twins are saying they wanna compete and they are looking for offense now.Guess this kills the Buxton trade possibility.
SF to Atlanta should help him alot. But now we need some pitching upgrade, and someone at short.Well, it definitely seems like a good roster fit (strong side platoon with good defense in the corners). Kinda surprised at the timing and acquisition cost though. His market must've been strong. The guaranteed money being spread over 3 years suggests we're optimizing the contract for the CBT tax (which I think bodes well for the payroll this year and beyond).
Oracle Park ranks 26th out of 28 in park factors for LHH over the past 3 years, so I could see a bump coming now that he's out of there. Looks like he did have an uptick after the KCR trade. He's gonna be 35 though, so not gonna get carried away with that thinking. Pretty solid "raise the floor" move, which is one of my favorite kinds of moves.
Murphy isn't even guaranteed to start the season healthy. It wouldn't surprise me if he and Profar didn't split DH duties for most of the season.Good catchers arent easy to find. I dont think it's crazy. I dont know if the Seager stuff is true but Murphy with other pieces for Seager would work.
And AA likes having 2 good catchers.Murphy isn't even guaranteed to start the season healthy. It wouldn't surprise me if he and Profar didn't split DH duties for most of the season.
