2025-2026 offseason thread

Either way we should be panicking.

The American Way.

 

[Tapate50]

That was a signal they had no money. This is a signal they still have money. Either way we should be panicking.

Definitely !

 

[The Tariff King]

If the Braves had money they wouldn’t have non tendered Kinley. But they bargain binned him back.

This shows AA is penny pinching thus unwilling to spend money to improve the roster.

Did I do that right?

 

[Metaphysicist]

Time traveling back to October 2024 to explain to younger Meta why I have to soon commit seppuku because we didn’t pick up the option of someone named Tyler Kinley.

Geez, I’m gonna run out of time travel credits.

The Braves exist in fiduciary superposition: they both do and do not have resources at any given moment they aren’t directly observed. Anthopoulos is working with Schrödinger’s Budget (which is obviously average).

I wonder if this could be a sign Jimenez is toast.

Could be a sign AA doesn't like the market for a starter and could be loading the pen for possible bullpen games until he finds a starter at the deadline.

Jimenez isn't expected back until midseason right?. If he comes back it gives us another quality arm in the pen and we can do piggybacking like second half of 2021.

If anything they are gonna go with the 'Respect Your' Elder as a 6th starter

The bullpen should be a huge strength this year.

 

[UNCBlue012]

If Jimenez returns, this bullpen could be a monster. It should be good either way, but I'd feel much better with one more high-leverage arm. Of course, they could sign a starter and push Holmes or Lopez to the BP. Regardless, I really wanted to bring back Kinley or Johnson, so I'm ecstatic with the move.

If Jimenez is healthy, a backend of him, Suarez and Iggy is stupid.

No way will Lopez and Holmes both be in the rotation. That would be the biggest miss for AA yet. That would be the most injury risky rotation ever assembled.

 

[Hudson2]

Bellinger is wanting Judge money. So I see why he's still a FA.

 

[Heyward]

Bregman to the Cubs per Passan. 5/175 no options, Boras still got it.

Bregman will mash in Wrigley.

 

[Enscheff]

And yet someone will still use the excuse that AA couldn’t have possibly planned for that many SPs to be injured despite the fact almost all of them are virtually guaranteed to be injured.
