The Atlanta Braves Thread

You may not like it but unless Matt turns into the Chophouse tickler version of himself, you can stick a fork in 2024 despite what anyone else (including AA) does.

100%. Sh!t injury luck, but it is what it is.

 

[AV_12]

But I’ll take Whit off the bench lol. He can play LF too

 

[LotteryPick]

This is so classic AA. Bargain bin shopping instead of looking for real answers

There are no real answers for this season

This is why I said AA has done as much harm as good the other day.
When everyone is good he looks like a genius, but a season like this it pigeon holes you. You aren't trading for RA or another other decent RF because you have RAJ. You aren't buying a 2B because Ozzie still has 4 or 5 more years. You locked yourself in with Harris last year. He made his move for LF this off season and they have Nacho lined up at short. There isn't much he can do outside the bargin bin.

Last year everyone was healthy and having career years. This year, not so much.

I don’t fault him for ridiculously team friendly extensions.

I fault him for supplementing those team friendly extensions with absolutely zero depth and reckless waste of resources acquire any depth should the need arise.

Fair enough. I just hate it because you're stuck in a season like this.

Sure, but remove the equivalent of Strider, Acuna and Harris from any team and they’re struggling.

*sell some of your short term contracts*

What we need is for our good players to start playing good.

This too. But what of they're just not that good.

 

[gobravesvols16]

Injuries plus down years by several players may be too much to overcome

Could easily make arguments to the contrary but not worth it.

Imagine sending Bear and Sale to the orioles for Mayo or Holliday. Imagine

It is insane that we are here, but I would keep Sale full stop.

 

[AV_12]

Either add or Sell. Dont do this In between scrap heap nonsense

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I would move Sale if you're expecting Max to sign an extension. Can't lose both though.

 

[TBrown]

if you trade Sale, next years rotation in April is:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Lol.. that’s worse than going into consecutive seasons as a “World Series contender” without a shortstop.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

What do you think Max could get on the market from Baltimore?
I'd consider that

 

[raw dog]

Correct as I’ve been saying for weeks

Hid value took a major hit after he threw one pitch at that stupid all star game. Dont think he will pitch before the deadline

Bryce Elder was an all star bro
