Nats @ Braves, Doubleheader 9/4. Game 1 - ACUNA RETURNS!

6 years 150 million is probably the starting point.

Teams are alot more smart in years than past times. Dont think Ozuna gets 6 years.

Agreed. Maybe pre-CoViD. But, in this economy, I think he'll be lucky to get four years and a fifth option at that AAV.

Shouldn’t the innings cut off to qualify for the win be shortened in a 7 inning game? Milone went 4 but O’Day gets the win due to the 5 inning rule. I know wins really are meaningless, but I still think the cut off should be shortened in these shorter games.

Something like 4 years, 70-85 million. Not sure how much money we'll have but Ozuna should be one of our main moves. Or a big bopper of some kind.

Melancon is up, in a 6 run game...

Just getting in his side work since he may not be needed until Monday.

You are right, forgot about the virus effect.

Even pre covid, i doubt he was getting 6 years.

He'll pitch this series.

I think O'Day O'Deserves it more.

Andruw is a perennially underrated player by most fans—even Braves fans—and should be in the Hall of Fame. Nevertheless, I don't really see many similarities in Acuña's batting approach and Andruw's.

Exactly.

I said that it was a comparison based on offensive statistics. Not his approach at the plate or his legendary defense.

But it isn’t. And that’s a ridiculous conclusion to jump to based off his ultra small sample size this year.
