I don’t know what you do with Freddie and his contract at this point. He’s obviously going to get better but how much better and what that’s worth is up for debate

I love Freddie but I honestly don't think paying him $30M/year is a good idea for the Braves. Baseball is a sport where depth might be more important than stars, especially for a franchise with a strict but fluctuating payroll like the Braves have.

The Braves need to do everything in their power to sign Freddie. He's the franchise.

I think the contract stuff is in his head cause he looks disinterested out there


You guys do know that he got hit in the elbow a few games ago, right?

Bad take is bad.

Is that making him swing at stuff way outside the strike zone?

I get that but I really think the Braves giving him a Goldschmidt contract would cripple the franchise, especially if the Battery has a down year.

I’ll be shocked if Freddie doesn’t get signed.

Tomlin is a great guy to have around the organization, but he really can only be used in mop up duty. Is it fair to wonder how much longer he stays around?

Tomlin has been trash since he got pushed into the starting lineup last year.

This is what happens when Tomlin pitches in non garbage time.

Might be time to bring Touki up just to give someone, anyone a try as a RHP out of this bullpen. Our RHPs are terrible besides Martin.

Has there been any word on Touki's injury lately?

Forgot about that. Maybe give Wilson a shot?

I wouldn't be upset if Smith threw at Soto one day for being a douche.
