$64M guaranteed to Strider over the next 3 years 
The extension had zero upside from the day it was signed

Fredi ready to send those runners

Byrd talking about how well Stridor throws his fastball and gets interrupted by a ground rule double off his fastball.
Can’t make this up.

Guaranteeing $75M to a velo reliant pitcher who has already had TJS in exchange for one extra year of control was just so unnecessary.

Pretty much every contract that we've given out to avoid arb years has backfired.

I thought Strider would be on his game being pride month and all

Gallen has been warmed over dogshit all season. The Braves are the perfect elixir for struggling pitchers.
Strider is not an effective pitcher when he sits 95-96. He might have to go back to the bullpen eventually.

Under .500 and Fredi Gonzalez is in a Braves uni in 2025… this really is the worst timeline

Grading the extensions I’d go
Acuña A
Albies A
Olson B
Murphy B-
Riley C
Harris D+
Strider F
I think the first 5 are all clearly above water in terms of trade value.
Acuña: top 5 player in the sport when healthy
Albies: insane surplus value throughout the deal with club options coming at the perfect time if teams wants out
Olson: 2nd in MLB at his position in WAR since the extension was signed. Would likely get a very similar deal on the market today if not more.
Murphy: 4 3+ WAR seasons in the last 5 years. Not super expensive for a top 10 catcher. Could be traded today if you want for positive value.
Riley: TBD. Would’ve been pretty costly in arb most likely so it’s not been a bad deal yet. If he doesn’t figure things out it could turn pretty bad due to the length. Could also still be a bargain if he regains form as he’s been a top 5 3B for most of his career.
Harris: Elite CF is still valuable and batted ball metrics are still very good but the plate discipline is so bad it could ruin his career. This is one that could improve but he seems to be totally lost in terms of pitch recognition.
Strider: Already discussed. Was by far the most curious the day it was announced as it was all upside for the player and zero upside for the team.

There’s no way you believe this considering the catcher we gave up for him

He’s having a much better year than Contreras but I was moreso talking about the extension than the trade

But the trade is part of the extension.
You're operating in a vacuum and that's just not how any of this works.

Murphy and Contreras will both make about $30M the next 2 years so it will be an easy comp to make at the end of 2027.
I think the Murphy trade was very minor in terms of missteps over the last few years. When healthy he’s very solid and as I said you could trade him right now for a real return if you want to open up more ABs for Baldwin which I wouldn’t be opposed to.

But that doesn't negate the fact that Contreras was still a pre-arb guy for the last two years and having significantly better seasons than Murphy. The preaching point has been financial flexibility... that ain't it.

Strider getting nuked out there. He's throwing batting practice.
