2025 Trade Deadline Thread

Hudson2 said:
Bob Nightengale of USA Today Sports is reporting that Alex Anthopoulos will be more open to moving some of his former All-Stars this upcoming offseason.

“Atlanta is expected to listen to trade offers for second baseman Ozzie Albies, center fielder Michael Harris and catcher Sean Murphy, but not until this winter. They are letting teams know that DH Marcell Ozuna, closer Raisel Iglesias and reliever Pierce Johnson are all available. Ozuna, who has 10-and-5 rights, can veto any trade.”

So they’re going to pick up Ozzie’s option and then trade him?

Good. I certainly hope our players have high value. My problem will be next year when he is batting .156 at the ASB. We have had this guy for 2.5 years and so far we got 1 season(2 halves of different seasons) of good Murphy and 1.5 years of Melvin. Maybe less catching and more DH will help his bat.

He had a 130 wRC+ his first year with us and has a 131 this year. Last year was an injury outlier. He’s basically a 30% better than average hitter.

Second half of 23 he hit .159/.310/.275. He was great in the first half no doubt but his overall stats looked good because they limited him after he started sucking.

Good but not sure I want to trade Albies and Harris them unless they rebound in the second half. Ev3n if they have monster second halves I would still look into trading them.

Mainly because Snitker decided to play him sparingly. He’s poven he’s much better playing regularly
 
Found this under that Bob Nightengale article:

– Former Marlins manager Skip Schumaker and bench coach Walt Weiss are expected to be strong candidates to replace Brian Snitker as Atlanta’s manager when he retires after the season.

Schumaker could also wind up in Texas if Bruce Bochy retires.


Weiss would be the most boring, most "Braves Way" hire ever, and show the organization isn't serious about winning. Snitker should have ZERO input on who gets the job.

For 200 at bats. I dont doubt what he has done this year. Much like I said in the offseason we should trade Ozuna because he had value and might not be an elite hitter anymore. I felt stupid about that one for a while. Hopefully if Murphy makes me look stupid its with the Braves. I do believe in general that the rigors of catching hold back most catchers potential with the bat though.

Don't expect major changes on in game decisions regardless of who is managing. I don't believe Snit has free reign to make in game calls. I have no doubt AA has set certain decisions based on what out advanced stat people say.
 
Skip Shumaker is the top of my wish list. I had a wild hope that Kevin Cash could look for a way out if uncertain future was still for the Rays. Now they they are going to be sold (can’t imagine the other owner voting against the sale), that won’t be happening.

If they’re going to go with someone with Braves connections, I’d rather go after David Ross than Weiss.
