re: Atlanta Braves Trade Deadline

I just think we could've increased our bullpen talent while still keeping AJSS and Grissom.

Probably. I was just using them as examples because we’ve seen them in Atlanta and they are probably our most valuable pitcher and position player assets. But what bullpen guy that would have made us significantly better was actually available? Padres were buyers, so Hader was out.

AA is on the broadcast talking about balancing short-term vs. long-term. Like I said Jay Johnson was gonna have to find a way to balance serving the ‘24 LSU team and the ‘25 ones and beyond.

And I bet he makes a big move for a front line SP over the offseason and we’ll package some guys in it that we wound up keeping today.
