I highly doubt he becomes available, but if he does, I would give Cincinnati just about anything they asked for to get Elly. That's the kind of shakeup this team needs, IMO.

We would have to give up a mint for him.

Also, remember when AA said it was better to make a playoff run if you go through the Wild Card round?

Regarding Iggy, we spent decent money on Suarez and can have him as our closer with Fuentes as the set-up man.

Saw this video earlier FWIW LINK

I'm very much in favor with the third fix. We have had no stability at SS since dansby left. Go all in with prospects to get the best player on a team that's going to rebuild.

Acuña needs to be traded while value is still high.

I'd like to resign Dubon and use him as a utility. If we can trade for a SS then make him permanent SS. And good lord do not offer HSK another penny

Maybe trade murphy?

As much as it pains me to say this, we are stuck with Riley. He's going nowhere. No team is going to trade for that contract with how bad he's been playing.

I feel like a lot of these free agent signings the last couple years have just been really bad whiffs by front office. That has to get better this year, or AA needs to go. I think he already needs to go because his fatass didn't do enough at the deadline and it hurt us big time.

Last night still just stings. The dodgers are beatable this year, and our offense just shite the bed. Have to stop swinging for the fences at every pitch and striking out at pitches away and in the dirt. Play to bring in runs. If it goes out of the park that's lagniappe. We need to give Chipper a blank check to be hitting coach

You're letting your emotions get the best of you.

Trading Acuna makes this team worse in the short term and he's not going to get the haul that you think he will.

One other thing I'll add, more of a hunch with a little intel.

I think Spencer Strider has thrown his last pitch as a Brave.

I was shocked when it was reported Texas was willing to take on his contract in a potential deGrom deal. He looks completely finished.

35m for two years of Acuna has obvious value to us but elsewhere too.

Is it though? And you pointed out the reason in the next few sentences. He’s so injury prone you almost MUST factor in he will miss 3-4 months of those 10 months of regular season.

I always felt like Acuna is not going to be a lifelong Brave. Despite what he says about his “desire”, I really feel like he is not going to listen to a somewhat team-friendly deal before FA just to ensure he does stay in Atlanta.

I don't think his value is as high as some think. And I don't necessarily think he should be traded. But hearing the boos last night had to have done some damage to his ego. I'm not an IG guy but supposedly he has deleted or archived all of his Braves stuff on there. Again, don't shoot me if I'm wrong, just what I read. I could see his feelings being so hurt, he demands a trade or gives little effort if we have season next year.

verified he has deleted it all, IF he had any braves stuff posted. I cannot confirm that. maybe someone else who followed him can.
good riddance. get what we can for him and move on. what good is a regular season when u suck arse in post season? i agree on all the others who are overpaid and did not deliver also like riley, etc.

i'd rather take my lumps now in a massive rebuild with a team once they get there will be ready to kick arse and take names. or so we hope. better than what we have now. All he has posted is his venezuelan shite.
