Never speak in absolutes about a bullpen.
We've definitely upgraded the pen.

We will see.

My original point is that you were either being disingenuous or ignorant when you said "we spent $30m and all we did was make a change in LF"

There is no denying Bummer, Lopez, and Kerr > McHugh, Yates, and Hand

And then I later acknowledged it is possible we also upgraded the bullpen.

Happy 26th birthday to Ronnie.

Pretty sure my stance on velocity is pretty clear by now. Watched a Braves podcast yesterday, and they addressed the bullpen additions and subtractions. Spencer Strider was the only Braves's pitcher whose fastball averaged 96 mph. The 3 new guys you list, in no particular order (I forgot) averaged, 96, 98(?), and 94.5 (or something close). McHugh--91, Yates--93, Hand--92. Yes, please.
And I think that by itself makes the need for a TOR starter much, much less. I'm sure we'll add a back end guy on a short/cheap deal and let him battle with all the other arms for the 4th/5th spots. Which again, I'm fine with. As long as AA is willing to add a SP at the deadline unlike last year when he seemed to be banking on injured guys coming back in September and being what they were prior.

No it does not. Your whole premise of "as long as AA adds a TOR at the deadline" sounds great, except beyond last year, he has never shown that he is willing to make a move for a big piece at the deadline.

It’s kind of bullshite that a team can sign a Billion dollars worth of contracts in one offseason

Nah, it's bullshite that we have a media group owning us.

Yankees/Mets/Dodgers/Padres have all tried to buy their championships with little degree of success.

Keep this same energy when we let the best LHP pitcher walk next year before his age 30 season.
Posted on 12/22/23 at 3:31 am to Broski
AA should do everything possible to sign Fried but Fried is going to price himself out of his comfort range just like Dansby. AA better have a plan to in place to deal with that
Posted on 12/22/23 at 7:00 am to Stastny
I’m starting to think AA won’t ever spend money on a SP. Ever.

2 years ago Tyler Nutsack bent Mookie Betts over in the most dominant fashion. The Dodgers respond by spending over a billion dollars on a couple of guys from Japan. Interesting times.

Still pissed I missed that performance (was on a transatlantic flight with no TV)
