You have Wentz to who's a good depth piece

Wentz is perfectly fine as the last man in the pen. He is your typical mop up guy who also provides value as an emergency starter.

Confusing as their projections have the Mets at 47.4 WAR vs 47.2.

Projected WAR doesn't take into account that the Mets always choke.

 

[Nerfherders]

Choke value always good for -1 WAR.

I’m guessing it is a variance thing—at median we might be basically tied, but the 80th percentile Braves might be much better than the 80th percentile Mets team. So in the scenarios where we make the playoffs, you are looking mostly at pretty strong teams.

Yeah, that’s the conclusion I came to as well. The Braves ceiling is definitely higher than the Mets ceiling.

The Dodgers are making so much money, they can literally just light 1.2 million on fire. But sure, there's no problem with the economics of baseball...

That is not what happened. It’s likely nobody will claim him and that they can just outright him because he’d have to give up his money if he chose FA.

I’d like to mention again that the most important item on the off season to-do list remains the re-naming of the board prior to opening day (preferably before spring training starts) to guard against an 0-7 injury and PED riddled start to the campaign.

2026: An Older, Weisser Team Ready for Another Run (of injuries, most likely)

2026: Questionable to Return (But Optimistic)
2026: This Board is Day-to-Day

Are we sure? Unless that's in his contact, MLB contracts are guaranteed, even against a DFA.

2026: Breaking Braves

Of course, if we sign Valdez it has to be Framber Waves of Grain…

I’ll show myself out

6 days until pitchers and catchers report. Today would be a good day for AA to improve the major league roster.

That’s damn funny

I got a feeling today is going to be a good day to be a Braves fan.
