So he wasn’t going to give guys away for nothing yet he will continue to pay them for zero value. Dude is a fucking genius. .
Unless Ozuna just didn't wanna go anywhere else and told them so which I doubt. Iglesias has been pretty terrible so who knows on him
So, as I suspected, the Braves were not willing to eat money for nothing burgers.
I have a hard time believing you couldn’t get a lottery ticket or a high floor, low ceiling player (basically a 40 FV) for either Ozuna or Iglesias and their salary paid. That should’ve been done. Anything less? Not so much.
That's what figured. It went above AA's head and they told him not to do anything to keep fans a little interested still with big names. Most fans aren't like us on this board and aren't this passionate.
The casual fan won't notice that Iglesias is gone. Big Bear, maybe....but not Iggy.

And the goal would be to increase fan interest moving forward. I don’t buy it either, but a convenient excuse for AA I suppose.I don't buy this at all. Moving Ozuna and Iggy would have zero impact on fan interest. Ozuna barely plays and Iggy is absolutely awful. That excuse might hold up for Murphy but not for the expiring contracts.
This is AA non-feasance plain and simple.
No point in trading Ozuna for Jim Jarvis.So he wasn’t going to give guys away for nothing yet he will continue to pay them for zero value. Dude is a fucking genius. .
So the alternative was to salary watch these guys walk for nothing in 2 months?

100%. Not much else to be said that hasn’t been said—but this is a big strike-one for me, given (as I said) the inflection point they’re at as an organization. Strike-two would be failing to replace Snitker competently. Strike-three would be a faceplant this offseason.AA better nail this offseason
You are getting zero value in them now.No point in trading Ozuna for Jim Jarvis.
I don’t believe that’s all he could’ve gotten, but there’s no point in trading Ozuna or Iglesias if you’re just going to get zero value anyway.
If you were getting nothing anyway then what’s the point? That’s what AA is saying. No one wanted Iglesias and Ozuna. Again, I find that hard to believe, but if that’s actually true then I get it.So the alternative was to salary watch these guys walk for nothing in 2 months?
Get fucked AA. I'm done with you.
