He's been terrible in post-season four separate times now. I'm not so sure you can blame that on a "slump" unless you are saying its a permanent (as of now) post-season slump.
Freddie Freeman, career post-season:
14 games
61 plate appearances.
2 RBI
watch out there is some yankees fan here who thinks freddie is the shite. was arguing with me last night in astros thread. freddie hit .200 this NLDS and has only hit .250 in all NLDS he has played in. he had 1 great playoff game in that WC. that is it.
2 RBIs fn trash for a #3 hole hitter

1. Everyone out-of-contract or club-option, turn down.
2. Blank check offered to Gerrit Cole.
2. Out-bid everyone else for Yasmani Grandal
3. ...
4. Profit

Bowman on the offseason:
-Donaldson to receive QO; Braves obviously in play to re-sign him
-Braves have "some level of interest" in re-signing Joyce, Martin and O'Day
-Seems to be a decent chance Braves will exercise Flowers' $6M option due to McCann retirement and Jackson's inability to prove he can be counted on so far
-Teheran option could go either way. $12Mis in line with market value and possesses value as back end starter and could possibly flip him after picking up the option
-Braves could consider bringing Markakis back as a platoon bat
-Shane Greene could be a non tender candidate due to the unsustainable peripherals. Braves may not want to commit $20M to Melancon and Greene in 2020
-Catcher and SP would seem to be the main focus in the offseason. Zack Wheeler and Madison Bumgarner listed by name as targets

Wouldn’t mind resigning Donaldson
Joyce, Martin and O’day? Ehhh only if they are super cheap
I’d dump melancon and Greene. Not really impressed with either of them
Why bring back Flowers? He is awful. Good at framing. shite at hitting and everything else
If you’re not gonna put Teheran on the NLDS roster then why keep him? Drop him and use the money elsewhere.
Markakis time in Atlanta has run its course. It’s time to move on. Especially with Pache and Waters coming up next year
I don’t want wheeler or bumgarner. Maybe Madison if he was an economical signing which he wouldn’t be.
Main objective SHOULD be... finding winners. Clutch guys. Big time performers. Need more pitching. It just wasn’t good enough. Need a Catcher too. Wish the team would make a splash and really go after it. Just like Houston did once they got close. But they won’t unfortunately

None of these moves make the team better than what they were this year. AA and the owners needs to look in the mirror and decide if they want to open the checkbook and be serious contenders or not. The party line of financial flexibility is bullshite if you never actually use that flexibility.

Neither move the needle, if this team is serious about competing, they need a 1A starter to go with Soroka as 1B.

Unless you’re trying to use the team as a real estate company.

All 3 should be cheap outside of Martin who could get a multi year deal.

Not dumping Melancon unless you give up something pretty good. No one is taking him on for $14M.
quote:

There are a lot worse options out there. You let Flowers walk and don't get Grandal and you are likely in a world of hurt. I don't particularly love Flowers but very risky to let him go in this market.

A lot of value in what he can provide over 162. I don't think he is on the OD roster but may be able to flip him to a team looking for an innings eater like Washington did with Roark last winter.

They need a starter pretty badly. Who would you target?

Braves payroll has been increasing pretty substantially last couple years. They were pushing $140M this season and Houston is at $160.
Holes in OF, C, 3B, SP and bullpen and about $50-$60M to fix it. How would you go about it?

As risky as it may sound, I think you have to bank on one of Riley/Pache/Waters being in an OF with Inciarte and Acuna next season. 3B, bring back Donaldson.
C, I don't want to tie up too much money as we wait for Langeliers. So bring in another Suzuki/McCann type to platoon with Flowers.
SP, as stupid as it may sound, we have to go in trying to bring in Strasburg or Cole. We just have to. That's our most glaring hole. Freddie is 30 now, so we have to strike while he is still in his prime as Ozzie and Acuna continue to improve.

If you re-sign Donaldson and sign Cole you can't do anything else. That's $55M+ without a doubt. Leaves you with
Acuña 7
Albies 2
Freeman 3
Donaldson 5
Joyce/Duvall/Markakis 9
Flowers 2
Inciarte 8
Swanson 6
Camargo
Culberson
Wieters?
Joyce/Duvall
Cole
Soroka
Folty
Fried
Wright
Melancon
Greene
Webb
Minter
Newcomb
Jackson
Dayton
Sobotka
If you go this route you better hope that starting rotation stays healthy and ideally Riley/Pache/Waters/Anderson and one of the young catchers all take a big step forward. A bounceback year from Camargo would really help in a scenario like this too.
