  • Id be shocked if the braves are better than us. The job they have doen with rebuilding their farm system has been great, but most of those guys are not ready yet. Obviously injuries could play a factor, but i think we will be significantly better than them. They are another year or 2 away IMO.

      That depends on the rest of the offseason.
      Right now, we are not significantly better than them (and that's assuming we're better, which might not even be the case).

        Well they got so many prospects they might as well trade some for something in the majors. None of the 3 are great especially in the system that Atlanta has built

        They made the cap so everyone can get a chance at TOP players every year. They didn't want the NYY,LA,Cubs getting 5 or 6 guys every year while Miami gets 1 every 5 years.(Well the chance to,it's hard to get Top guys when u don't even make offers for them)But ya the cap is just for MLB to say this is as much as u can spend UNLESS u get money from another team for something.

        Probably was Jeff's 2nd priority after getting his 35 million dollar check every year

        • The Braves are not acting at all like a team that is rebuilding. There are several reports that they're interested in Sale or Archer.

          • I think the Braves got Garcia for nothing and we could baeten the same deal with Anderson, Esch and Brice

            • Still need two 2/3 type starters and a bridge relief arm. Probably a fireman too. Hard to see anyone fill those roles on a one year deal. Letting Rodney go was probably not a great idea. I like Volquez but he's the 3/4 guy we needed to fill in alongside Conley and Chen. Hard to imagine any of those three being even plausible options for a play-in type game.

              • Under 5% chance that Loria signs two #2/#3 type starters on top of Volquez.

                We have to pray for miracle scenario where we acquire Fister/Hammel type guy and Jansen.

                Fister
                Conley
                Chen
                Volquez (who will likely be Opening Day starter)
                Koehler

                Phelps
                Bear
                Ramos (who I think we should trade but we won't cause Stanton bff situation)
                Jansen

                If Stanton and Chen improve from last year and Koehler and Phelps repeat last year we can make playoffs with that.

                  They can get Hammel or Fister-issue is the price. Both prolly want few years at 11 million or so. This is the reason alot of people think Ozuna will get dealt. Alot cheaper to get a SP and go with a platoon of DD and ? in LF

                  • D-backs signed Jeff Mathis to a 2 year, $4M contract, so he won't be back.

                    • Tomas Telis do ya thing

                          Yep. Basically just means Telis isn't being used as a trade chip. Don't mind it since I like Telis. If Realmuto regresses Telis is a nice backup option to have. Only reason I kept bringing him up as a trade piece is that he's good enough to be a starter somewhere. Feels a bit of a waste to have him not playing on a team so often.

                          • I'm guessing Mathis is gone now that Jose is gone?

                            I'm probably the only person that wishes we still had Mathis.

                              I'm not thrilled about it at all, definitely wanted him back

                              Gonna be even more annoyed when we sign some other catcher and keep Telis in AAA

                              Comment


                              • Yeah this is the first year I actually wanted him back. He had a good year last year.

                                I thought Telis would be of more use as a trade chip. Oh well.
