I’m glad AA is still smart enough to pass on that deal.

I or hope AA wouldn’t trade a DH and a catcher plus for another DH that costs a heck of a lot of money. The plus could have been Kelenic and his dog and it still would have been a dumb trade. Up there with the Murphy trade. Braves need to rid the black holes not just replace a producing DH for another DH.
And I would have fired you on the spot if I was your boss.
Just go get Kyle Tucker in the off-season if you want a hitter. Even if Boston simply put him on waivers, and all we had to do to get him was to pick up the contract, I would still pass him up. Paying an overweight DH 245 million until he is 37 is a terrible idea.

It's actually A LOT worse than what Riley is owed. Over 70 million worse. And Riley is actually useful on defense.

I wonder if Profar shows out the rest of the year, that would change the FO mind on going after another outfielder of Tuckers ilk. I just don't see them wanting to move Acuna to full time DH...
That said, you could definitely rotate Tucker/Acuna/Profar as DH, but that would require Murphy to be traded.

Acuna isn't a horrible defender. He needs to be in RF on most nights. But he certainly needs to get a breather at least once a week at DH. Especially in day game after a night game situations. Getting an OF/DH to rotate around would be ideal.
