2025-2026 offseason thread

[Jaw]

Nacho doesn’t have a spot now. We definitely could see him shipped to someone who can play him daily and hope he becomes something.

I like it. Still feel like we're missing a piece offensively, though. We're going to need Riley to play to his capability and Harris to be more consistent.

 

[Carp]

If we're not gonna spend much more in FA, then I think Peralta makes the most sense in a trade for a SP. We should be able to get him without giving up either Cam or Fuentes.

I think the offense is probably done but they will have plenty of ammo at the deadline to get whatever we need.

He would be a pretty good end to making this team dangerous.

Anyone out there that fits the Sale mold of skilled but needing a change of scenery?

 

[striker42]

Love the Kim signing. Super solid off season.

 

[MadduxFanII]

I also like that we're not tied to Kim long term. He looked solid after coming over, but he's still a player on the wrong side of 30 with a useful-but-precarious skillset and major shoulder surgery in his recent past. I'm glad we didn't have to go to an uncomfortable contract length just to assure ourselves something better than Dubon at short.

More shopping at Wal-Mart instead of Macy's. This organization is content with being good but not championship caliber Bichette was just sitting there, and typical Braves, they pass for a retread. I am so sick of it.

 

[Jaw]

I play SS as well as Bichette at this point. Paying him would have been catastrophic.

You gotta be joking. Bichette may be the worst fielding SS in baseball and is gonna get 200 million dollars and cost a pick. How is that just sitting there?

 

[Jaw]

Bichette is likely a 4 win player who will require a large salary over a long commitment. Kim is a 2-3 win player who required less for a single year. There isn’t even an argument to be made here, a 30 year old who fit in well and likely produces what Kim will is a complete steal at 1/20.

 

[Hudson2]

Kim > Bichette when it's all said and done with money and years involved. This gives Lodise and others to show out this year.

 

[CyYoung31]

I think Dubón is on a different level than Lopez. And will definitely be used more

I could’ve sworn Lopez put up a 6 WAR season a few years ago mainly thanks to his defense.

 

[CyYoung31]

So bringing him in to end last season paid dividends. Very nice

Don’t let Matt see this.

 

[mossy]

So happy with this offseason thus far!! Can't wait for spring!!

You’re arguing with the mentally handicapped. Best to just ignore him.

 

[CyYoung31]

I’d still like to get a better platoon partner for Yaz than Dubon. Just let Dubon be a true super sub.

 

[Hudson2]

It's fun actually being excited for ST. Get a SP and let's go.

Not sure how it's a gamble paying off, but seems like a reasonably good move. Doesn't blow me away but better than Nick Allen.
