“We were really close on pulling the trigger on a deal to bring in a big name bat, but ultimately we decided the dynamics just weren’t right for our ballclub.”

AA quote in a week, probably.

Ozuna would have had to be in it but that's a ton of money to be on the hook for. If it's true we were interested then money isn't an issue.

AA inquired. Offered Nacho and asked the Red Sox to pay 30 million. It did not go well so he decided to see what was sitting at the bottom of the angels dumpster.

Ironically, Nacho might be better than what the Red Sox received.

Bloated contract for a future DH. They did well to relieve the buyers remorse

speaking of nacho, in a small sample, he's hit well since coming back. Perhaps it's time to get him up in and play a couple times a week at 2b.

He literally could not be worse. Carlos Rodriguez, also literally could not be worse.

yeah, it might be time to sit some of these black holes for the other black holes that AA has built for this team.

Would Ozuna be going to Boston or LF in this hypothetical trade for Devers?

It's encouraging to see our name attached though bc he's owed a lot of money.

AA has been attached to big money names for 2-3 years now.

The Red Sox apparently asked for Ozuna, Murphy and two pitching prospects. AA let the Red Sox know the Braves were no longer interested, and the deal with the Giants happened shortly after.

Just because I was curious, his average EV is 85.6mph out of 6 balls put into play. Not that it matters in such a small sample size, I was just curious.

If AA offered anything of remote value for Devers without them eating a large portion of the contract, he should be fired immediately. You mean to tell me that you are ok shelling out 245 million for an out of shape, primary DH into his late 30s, but somehow you wouldn't give Freeman 6/160?

GTFO.

AA is panicked and trying to do anything because he knows his time is short partly because of the FF debacle.

The deal didn't go down for a reason... I'm sure this is why. The Braves likely asked the Red Sox to take on Murphy's salary and also eat some of Devers' salary, while getting legit talent back.

AA will be the Braves GM for at least the next five years, whether you like it or not. Y'all calm tf down. lmao he's signed through 2031.
