Michael Harris II

Yup. A Tucker type player would do wonders. We need a bat to replace Ozuna but also play the field so the team can rotate players through the DH spot.

I would love to be wrong, but with the cubs' resurgence, I say no way he ends up leaving Chicago. Well, unless the dodgers go hard

I don’t see any scenario where AA pays top dollar for a guy

 

[zbhargrove]

Braves will need another OF as well

You right about that. I knew I was forgetting something. Please splurge for Tucker

Get Harris back into a 4-5 WAR player, a SS upgrade, and Riley back to full strength. Then you can afford to have Albies as your weak link. Maybe he adjusts or maybe it’s Nacho if he keeps struggling.

Lodise will move fast through the system once he is assigned. I could see him being ready sometime after the AS break next year possibly.

He's just an example. Literally any OF that can actually play the OF and hit will do.

A player like Tucker would mean the FO would have to spend some fckn money...that ain't happening....They want cheap prospects with potential that could possibly stick while under control....

A few things I think plays in the Braves favor is this past offseason and last deadline was embarrassing to the team and they will do everything to fix it. The CBA is looming and they want to get whatever done in case it changes things. They will also have the money for Tucker and he's from Georgia.

I’m high on Lodise but you can’t plan on a draft pick before they’ve even had one professional at bat

Yeah I'm not I'm just saying being a college player he'll move faster than a HS guy and could be ready next year sometime to contribute even as a bench guy.

I can't imagine we pony up the 300+ million it's gonna take to land Tucker. Hell, 300 million might not even be in the ball park with how much these recent contracts have been.

We'll probably just bring Ozuna back. Maybe trade Murphy to get a SS or a LFer. Most of our available money will probably go to SP and BP. I could see us signing Cease on a pillow contract. And I'm guessing that Lopez goes back to the pen. Maybe he's our closer.

I'd probably try to bring in Chapman also. I do think they'll get Cease but it will be a 5-6 year deal bc Boras won't do a pillow deal and there will be a lot of teams needing SP. if there is ever an offseason they'll load up it'll be this one so I do think they go hard after Tucker so Acuna can DH more. Ozuna won't be back once he's traded bc they'd just stick with the 2 C system they are doing now rather than do that.
