All they had to do was simply sign Freddie for just a little bit more money...

Having Olson instead of Freddie is a wash. Plus Olson is 4 years younger.

And I wasn't sad letting Dansby go.

Last year is injuries, but even so the last three years, our hitting in the playoffs disappears. Hopefully the new hitting coach can get it fixed, because it has been dreadful.

When is the tv contract up? 2027? That should free up the purse strings. Unfortunately, the cupboard will be bare by then.

Lol no Olson for Freddie is not a wash. I don’t care how you all try and justify it. Freddie is an all time great hall of famer. Olson is not Freddie

This is correct

Give me a break guys.....Before Freddie had an epic WS, he hit fricking .228 in all of the playoff series. And the bottom line is, Freddie fricked it up. He let his agent, that he later fired, frick him over.

We're signing Financial Flexibility. He and Charlie Morton will be on a year-to-year contract until the end of time.

So we're just ignoring that Langeliers and Contreras are better catchers (and younger catchers) than Murphy?

Cool.

Didn’t say that. As you can see in my other post I said we needed a catcher. Murphy was a miss. When we got him everyone thought it was the right move. It wasn’t.

Shows what you know.

Braves just picked up SS Christian Cairo (Guardians) in the second round of the Rule 5 draft! Print tha shirts!!!

Second round (all but one club passed)

Doh!!!!

I don’t think we keep Lanogliers anyway.

The point is that we could've used Langeliers and the rest of the farm assets to make a splash move for a SS.

Instead we have Arcia playing there now because our farm is depleted from making moves we didn't have to make (C & 1B)

Lot of fear and panic and overreaction ITT from the usual suspects .

Welcome to the off-season.

Agreed. The Braves window is wide open and will be for the foreseeable future. We don’t have any money tied into past prime players. None. That gives AA a lot of flexibility year to year and keeps our window wide open. Meantime, other teams with the marquee signings may have a current window but have very little flexibility for years.

The Braves will continue to plow the Latin market for the next set of core players. The American draft is just a fools errand outside of a few gems, ala Skenes. The Orioles are the team I’m interested in seeing how they handle their organization. They’ve built it up but will they give extensions or watch their stars disappear to to the Bronx or Queens. Gonna be interesting. Meanwhile, the Braves will continue to be a boring off s3ason team that will make the playoffs year after year and hope to get hot at the right time.
