How I see it . . .

It is clear that sellers tried to exploit the market which is why so many big names didn’t move. No GM is just going to give an absurd package to “push in”.

What happens when you go all in, and don't win? AA won my trust today by not gambling away anyone of consequence. He will go all in when the time is right.

Scared money doesn't make money.

It's also a gamble to keep the prospects that have proven nothing at the big league level.

Nothing in life is guaranteed, but you can't be scared to take risks.

The timing is obviously what you have to get right when trying to win championships- I thought now was the time before the big fat middle finger the Braves fan base received at the deadline.

Now Houston has a rotation of demigods and would be virtually impossible for us to beat, not to mention the Dodgers and Nats in our our league.

When AA deems the "time is right", Josh Donaldson will be gone, and Freddie Freeman will be on the wrong side of 30.

Baseball history is absolutely littered with teams going all in and succeeding in their quest for the ultimate prize: a ring.

In recent history, the Chicago Cubs did it and won a world championship, and they are still "competitive" three years after they reached the pinnacle.

Why do we keep feeding this troll. All he wants is attention and people are so quick to fill ages upon pages with the attention he wants (and I know I’m feeding into it right now too, but I will also be blocking him going forward so I don’t have to listen to it anymore).

Do you have proof that I'm a troll?

Could it be possible that I simply give harbor to opinions that differ from the consensus?

If only he had the testosterone levels required to keep up his end of bets...he wouldn't be here anymore.

Alas, his t-levels are only sufficient to make alpha claims that aren't backed up by anything other than words.

this is how i know you're a child. because if you're actually smart, yeah...it does.
gambling at casinos is brave money...that makes (most) casino owners wealthy (with some very obvious, notable exceptions), and the gamblers broke.
i'll safely tuck mine away in my 401k, Roth, and index funds and watch it grow.

Who said anything about casinos?

I think it took a lot of guts to start Amazon in a garage.

You are a moron.

I really hope you keep us up to date on the amazing wealth you create once you graduate from Eastern Central Kentucky State University and are the night shift supervisor at a dog food factory lol.
 
Not me, I want to be entertained by good baseball rather than "win and sell." The first two years of the recent rebuild were hard to watch and I don't want to see that again anytime soon.
 
Anyone who didn't enjoy the rebuild's first few losing seasons is not a real Braves fan.

We saw exciting at-bats by Jace Peterson, unbelievable pitching by Wisler, Folty, etc in their rookie year.

We saw the Grilled Cheese close games out. Got a taste of lairdership experience by Pierzynski.

Peak Freddie in the batters box. We saw Markakis' recovery from when he just got back from surgery with no power, to tripling his power from lifting weights.

I'll always fondly remember the "Year of Weak Contact," starring Pedro Ciriaco and Eury Perez.

Pedro Ciriaco.

If there were was ever a player who had the build and look of a ballplayer that ended up being not so good of a ballplayer, he is one of the first that comes to mind.

I think he started both games of a doubleheader at first for us toward the end of that season. Fredito was pretending to be hurt.
