Been almost dead quiet today.

DO A BARRELL ROLL!!

Been almost dead quiet today.

It's like this every baseball offseason, where NBA/NFL have active offseasons as soon as they start. There's like 1 move a day maybe in baseball.

Would have anticipated a little more movement in the couple days before the winter meetings.

Heyman says rival executives don't think Burnes will be traded this off season

 

[Enscheff]

The Brewers may as well take one more shot. Their rebuild is going to take a decade no matter what.

The below piece is pure "what I'd like to see" from Bowden, but the Braves trading Grissom and Schwellenbach (or AJSS straight up) for one year of Bieber would be the beginning of my villain arc.

Nice primer from Jeff Passan on the winter meetings: https://www.espn.com/mlb/insider/st...e-agency-trade-rumors-shohei-ohtani-juan-soto

The only piece related to Atlanta is that the price for Cease is expected to be "hefty" and there are seemingly a ton of suitors.

Yeah, he's a dumbass. Fortunately, Alex is not a dumbass.

Didn't Bieber have an elbow problem? Why would we do a deal (especially one that includes Grissom) for one year of a guy whose elbow is about to explode?

He had a shoulder injury in 2021 and elbow inflammation last season. lol

Bieber is a solid pitcher, but with his declining peripherals he's closer to Morton in terms of production. More of a really good No. 3 type of pitcher than he is a front line pitcher. So color me in the camp of not wanting to give up that much for him when other mid rotation types like Stroman and E-Rod are available for cash only.

I wish Bowden could get a GM job so we could trade with him.

 

[Enscheff]

There’s a reason Bowden is no longer employed by MLB teams and has to pedal his brain farts to casual fans.

Lol

Kiley wrote this on ESPN about us potentially trading for Cease: "it might take three of the top five prospects to get in striking distance"

Two or three of Griss (not a prospect, I know), AJSS, Schwellenbach, Kuehler, Murphy, and Waldrep seems about right.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Not interested in Waldrep and AJSS going for a 2 year pitcher. That is too much imo.

There's no shot the Braves would include AJSS AND Waldrep. We know that.
