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

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

Well hopefully that is right and he hits very well now that he can DH.

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.

I say we revolutionize the game and go with an AI manager We sadly..... and almost certainly will do worse.

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.
Then those advanced stat people need to be fired.

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.

Once Ozuna and Snit are gone, they can probably do a bit of roster-restructuring and cycle guys through the DH role and have a couple of bench guys that are better than the current set. I know I harp on this more than others and Snitker has generally been a "write the line-up in my sleep guy" and stick with it regardless of what happens (outside of going with the "hot hand" from time-to-time) It will depend on resources of course, but a new manager and a departure from "the same nine every night" would be a refreshing change.
You’re not giving Winn credit for how cheap he is. I’m not sure how the value stacks up between the 2, but Murphy is at absolute peak value right now. He’s 100% heathy, which is no small feat for him. If he can’t get an impact player now, he will never get an impact player.

I like Murph a lot and thinks he could help a lot going forward but others are right that he's at peak value right now and is actually healthy so if you're going to cash in then now would be the time to do it. If they do keep him then I'm gonna guess that nobody would meet the asking price.
Nightengale has never been tuned in with the Braves. I would take this with a big grain of salt.

Very Flirtatious, but Doubts What Love Is.
Ten days until midnight. Hopefully Anthopoulos is working the phones having decided to sell around the margins. Holmes, Ozuna, Iglesias, Johnson, maybe Murphy (if the return is appropriately substantial); but also Mortero, de los Santos, even Suero, if there are lottery tickets to be had.
For the fringier relievers, I’d be scouring for far-off offensive players that have some sort of carrying tool that that could make them viable major-league depth, or closer-to-MLB pitchers with warts but something elite that could allow them to be MLB relievers in the coming seasons.
