Official 2022 Offseason Moves Thread

1. Braves were after Kimbrel until they landed Jansen
2. Boras offered the Braves the same contract for Correa that he did for the Twins
3. Braves definitely went after Soler
4. Also speculates Braves will be after Correa next year if he opts out

Why does nobody know how to post a tweet? It's easy or they just don't care?
 
Looks like the Braves have plenty of mediocre options to fill out that last bench slot now.

Assuming the roster is complete, I’m very interested to see how they navigate the rotation with 3 legit SPs and a bunch of question marks.
 
I don't get the crappy infield adds unless we just need them for spring.

I know Swanson gets hurt a lot, but that is why they have Acria, right? And everyone thinks Shewmake can play SS. There has to be a glove only SS you can stash in AAA.

I like stockpiling the OFs b/c I can see a need to mix and match a ton given the Acuna injury and a lot of guys with big plusses and big minuses.

With the number of days in a row and the lack of firepower, I'd consider having 3 catchers over multiple can't hit INF. It's probably better for Contreras to play. WE do have both vet catchers on a deal this year AND next. But Contreras is one of our best pinch hitters right now. This season is going to be a grind so maybe they just option him and let him catch 10-20 games that way.

I think Ynoa has proven enough that we can comfortably expect him to be at least a 4/5 in the rotation. But the 5th spot is a big question mark.
 
It's an article from the Athletic, i'm not sure how many here are suscribed. It'll be interesting what AA does with SS next year. Possibly have Swanson, Correa, Turner and Xander as FA's next winter. With guys like Smith, Jansen, Morton, and Swanson off the books, certainly would seem to have money to go after one of them next year.

The Dodgers and Red Sox will get 2 of them. I’d say Correa and Swanson will be the 2 to choose from.
 
Lots of money should be available. Possible/probable needs: A real CF, TOR guy, maybe a closer us Matzek drops efficiency. Swanson may be an affordable premium.
 
I'm not sure why anyone thinks the Correa rumors are realistic. When was the last time the Braves were able to outbid a large market team for a top free agent? It simply won't happen.

Braves are doing very well financially and with the continued development of not only the battery but Cobb County (as well as migration towards the Southeast) I'd expect conditions to only improve moving forward.

Well the Braves just outbid the Dodgers for Freeman. He just didn't want to be here.

And this level of payroll hasn't been seen since the 90s. Braves are a top destination, during a championship window, and has money to spend.
