re: The ATL Thread Offseason Thread

Braves ownership is acting like a private equity firm. Trying to squeeze every penny possible without spending one extra penny to do so.

All business no intrigue.

2020 is our year!!!

FWIW, at the start of this rebuild 3-4 years ago 2019 was the year everyone circled and pointed to...last year everyone was screaming they were a year ahead of schedule because of the success...now all of sudden it's plug and play and go get 'em next year. lol

2019 could've been our year. Hell it might still be. I'm not advocating trading the farm, but what's wrong with trading a pitching prospect for an everyday catcher?

If I've read it right, here's the details from the Realmulto trade:

-JT to Phils


Marlins got:

-#6 overall RH pitching prospect Sixto Sanchez (injured most of 2018 with inflamed shoulder).

- Catcher Jorge Alfaro. 8 seasons in the minors, 3 in the MLB. In 3 MLB season he batted .270, 15 HR's, with a strike out percentage of 38%

- Single A pitcher Will Stewart. 4 seasons in the minors with a 3.20 ERA. He's never made it out of Single A.

Phillies owe JT $5.9 million.

So the nearest equivalent is the Braves would've needed to trade Soroka, Flowers (even though Tyler is much better than Alfaro), and De La Cruz. If this is correct, then Anthopoulus got his shite pushed in.
