Skenes licking his lips and the Pirates are probably crying. No way they'll be able to afford Skenes arb numbers.

MLB booking has been terrible the last couple years. Braves should’ve gotten a much longer title run.

4 days until pitchers and catchers report. Today would be a great day for AA to add a reliable starter.

AA might actually be a lazy motherfucker lmao just add a pitcher.

I'm being facetious, by the way. But there's no reason to keep waiting. Just make a damn quality move.

 

[mfree80]

I think the players (Bassit) are the ones holding out, hoping the team will get impatient and panic. I just don’t see AA doing that.

Pitchers signing late in ST have not fared well. It’s getting to the “now or never” point for adding a SP.

I was thinking the same thing yesterday. When Valdez signed thats about as late as I'd want to be making arrangements to stay, etc... AND start to get ramped up.

That's my concern. They need to get to camp and prepare.

Selection bias at play here

The likelihood of “not faring well” might explain why some of these pitchers are signing late in ST

OTOH, the Braves have done pretty well with late signings in the past with Ervin Santana and Dallas Keuchel.

I think AA and our pitching scouts just may be good with the 12 we’ve got for now if the agents are keeping the prices too absurdly high…. AA definitely is negotiating from a position of strength and has the reputation of not effing around when he gives an ultimatum.

I’m an idiot, no question, but I’m good with going to war with what we’ve got….until we are down five pitchers by April 1.

Can he still play ss? He was just slightly better than avg last season vs lhp, but was good in 2024 and his career.

 

[MadduxFanII]

Eh. No harm, no foul, but when a guy like Farmer hits his mid-30s and collapses, you should probably assume he's just done.

Look what they’ve taken from us
