Official official offseason thread

Stay away from Reynolds. He’s more of the 3 WAR player than the 6 WAR guy he was one year. Good player, not worth a haul. Good players on bad teams get overvalued by the controlling team and opposing teams because of their star status on that bad team. Vaughn Grissom is dirt cheap and under control for awhile. He could easily be a 3 WAR guy not to mention the other pieces we would give up.

Braves are set at 2B for the foreseeable future. Grissom could be a good player but still needs some seasoning. For a team in the middle of a championship window, you can make that kind of move IMO. And if you bring in Reynolds, who is much better than Rosario/Ozuna, you can still sign Swanson. You’d have the best offense in baseball for the next 3 years
 
Also, as we head into this Winter Meetings, let’s all remember….AA never does anything really at the winter meetings. So I expect it to be quiet on our front
 
AA was after Reynolds last year and again this offseason so him seeing Reynolds say he wants to be traded has to have him drooling a little. I know Reynolds can’t dictate where he goes but hopefully AA can make a strong offer. Getting him and one of the SS would make us even more dangerous than we already were. I think it’s time AA moves all of his chips in and goes for it.

There it is

An angle not discussed is the possibility of a three-team deal where what we have--which I don't think matches up well with the Pirates unless Contreras is the centerpiece of the deal--can be shipped to a team that has more of what the Pirates need. I can't see the Pirates trading Reynolds without getting another OF who is either a young veteran or major league-ready back from somewhere.
 
So the Braves were in on deGrom until the Rangers went to 5 years. So all of that about the Braves won’t spend can be put to rest.

I think thats where Malloy come into play. He’ll be in AAA and ready to contribute. We have the pieces to get the trade done imo.

All good. Turns out Olney had it in his article, so some credibility there.

AA seems pretty determined to make one splash. I also think this might mean Braves are pivoting away from Dansby.

I couldnt imagine what the Braves rotation would have been if we had gotten deGrom. The best 1-5 we would have probably ever had. Morton as the 5 is insane.

I think so too. If we wanted Dansby we could have gotten him by now. He’s just to streaky to invest long term money in.
