Honestly I'd be fine with most packages for Alvarez. His current contract runs through 2028 which is Acuna's last year. I've been of the opinion to go all in to maximize the rest of Acuna's time here and Alvarez would qualify.

I hate this stupid ass conversation lmao but yeah, Freddie will go down as being the better player regardless... three titles, an MVP, WS MVP. It is what it is. But Matt is a WS title away from being my favorite. Love Freddie, but Matty O is my dude.

As I mentioned, I don't care whether you like my answer or not. She asked for my answer and got it, and nothing will change it.
They will play.

I do hope we can get Freddie back for his final 2-3 seasons and see if he can get to 3k hits and maybe even 500 homers (unlikely but possible). He needs about 3 more seasons after this year to get to 3k hits, assuming he remains good/healthy enough to get 600 PAs each season (and assuming there isn't a lengthy strike).
A 2-3 year deal after the 2027 season to let him play out his final seasons in Atlanta as the primary DH would be fantastic.

That would be a good story. But I just don't see AA committing to a full time DH anymore.
Seems reasonable to go with the 6 man rotation when possible given our personnel. Sale and Strider have been pretty injury prone. Holmes has a partial UCL tear. Ritchie is a rookie.
