Anyone wanting to trade Olson is an idiot.

I would package Acuna and Riley for a Player from Japan to be named later.

Ronnie would be easy to trade his contract had immense value. So much so it makes a mid market team like the braves kind of crazy to trade him based on the potential.

Riley is completely untradeable, he will just need to be released.

Murphy might have some value, but hard to say since he is constantly injured. Someone would take a flyer on him. But don't think we would get back much in return.

Can't trade Sale, but would be a good idea if we are unloading guys

I have no issue with Olsen staying on. Everyone remembers Freddie for 2021 but he dogshit in the playoffs in 19 and 20

I don't get this either. He got in a slump at the worst time and that sucks, but he's more reliable than anyone else.

Everyone else mentioned has been slumping all season with a few flashes. Get them the frick out while they still have value

I agree. He doesn’t act like he’s 10. I’m just saying he’s 28. So he should be maturing or mature already. It’s asinine to say he is just immature. He should not be

Someone with his skills should be a leader in the clubhouse. I’m assuming there are problems there too.

I hate seeing talented players throw it away because of immaturity.

This team is supposed to be on their level. The fact that so many guys have fallen off a mountain over the last 3 years with no apparent way to fix the roster is what is so disappointing. This team is supposed to be better than 8 runs in 4 games, but then again, that's the exact same number they put up in the 2023 NLDS too.

better lock mike down if we wanna keep him

a rebuild will take years if we do it properly

will be some terrible seasons



do we tear it down to the studs?

i thought we could make a couple more runs after 2021 i was wrong

we sucked in playoffs 3 straight after that

Too many passive nice guys on this team. That is great for getting through 162, but is horrible in October when you need badasses to step up.

With the amount of cash we bring in from the battery, we have the checkbooks to play Dodger ball. But our short bus ownership and GM want to play moneyball

AA completely shite down his own leg after 2021. We should have went on a run and been top dog of MLB for at least a few years. Just terrible move after terrible move as soon as they put the trophy in the trophy case

Harris still has 5 more years on a deal that he is playing at extremely below market value

4.8 WAR this year somehow while only walking 27 times

Great last at bat of the season Olson. Swinging at a slider in the other batters box

It sucks but this formula with AA has failed. That’s what sucks is everyone thought Riley, Acuna, Ozzie, Harris, Strider and others was years of success but instead it’s been 2021 and playoff disappointment.

Seems like at this stage it’s time to accept defeat and move forward - without AA and several of those pieces.
