Braves fan since I was born, thanks to TBS. Finger Lakes resident and Syracuse born. Baseball is my true passion, Syracuse sports come next :) GO Orange! Oh, and my family and kids and stuff as well do not suck. But go Braves!
If you are looking at guys that got caught in yesterday’s roster crunch across MLB, would our 40-man not be stronger with JJ Bleday and Ramon Urias on it? If it’s about depth, that seems like we could upgrade here

The trend last year seemed to be low for Rule 5 guys who “stuck” all year:
On average, ~45% overall (2020–2024 combined “stuck” (weighted by number of picks), with year-to-year variation — e.g., 2023 looked unusually good (~73% stuck), while 2024 looked low (~33%)
Maybe that’s the Braves bet?

When we talk about Ha-Seong Kim,we miss the point. How many SS have gone off the board, including Dansby, to get painted into this corner? I will give AA the Arcia AS year,but are we going to end up giving Kim $20m when we could have given Dansby $23 to stay?This discussion isn’t talked about enough

Question. Maybe @crosbybaseball.bsky.social knows. For guys like Payamps and Alexis Diaz, can’t we tender them a contract and cut them in spring if they don’t show the improvement the team is looking for? Or are we bound to them because of arbitration rules? I know that changed slightly in 2022?

I’m at this game in Toronto. Out of 24 outs through 8 innings, 18 are strikeouts. Do we…..suck?

At least the Braves didn’t struggle with runners in scoring position tonight. Oh wait…..no game.

Huge news here. Does show we are one or two injuries from the exact same shit bucket as last year though. lol
Despite a nasty-looking injury on Saturday, it looks like Jurickson Profar will be ready for the #Braves' Opening Day lineup:

Lot to put on Drake Baldwin, but will be good to see what we have: $$$
In 2024 TD was paid $8mil, and Murphy paid $9mil - Total $17mil
In 2025 if Murphy is paid $15mil and Baldwin and Tromp league min of $760, let’s round to $1.5mil for both of them. - Total $16.5mil
Maybe more risk. Same money.

I always love the opening day roster projections. However, if AA has taught us anything, it’s that he is going to option someone who may be better than a person they keep on the roster. It’s all about organizational depth.

Remember those comments from AA about being a top 5 payroll? Hey @justinctoscano.bsky.social can we ask him about that when you interview him this spring? Wonder what he would say about that. Wait until the end of the season? We were last year? Curious

At this point it does make sense until pitchers and catchers report to make a move, but I still believe we need a couple arms before running it back #braves

See, this makes no sense to me. This isn’t a better depth move for the Braves? You are telling me Lopez had a better shot to play behind Dansby? No shot. He would have come here on a minor league deal. These are the moves that are upsetting to me www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/02/cubs...
Cubs Sign Nicky Lopez
The Cubs have signed infielder Nicky Lopez, according to the New York Post's Jon Heyman. The deal is a minor …

Nicky Lopez? Kike? How about Laureano as a depth outfielder? They don’t all have to be Bregman type moves. This Braves roster can still improve.

Profar is NOT a Boras client anymore… So the Atlanta Braves streak holds. lol.
And probably why the deal was one of the only deals to fall below projections this off-season

Has there ever been a team people will hate more than the 2025 Dodgers? My word

I am now officially concerned about the Braves offseason. There just seems to be too many things we need to break correctly to be better on paper than last year. I just do not understand this strategy this time

@crosbybaseball.bsky.social Today is the day for international signings correct? When does that window open, and when do the Braves normally comment on them?

Here is an idea that could make sense. Nicky Lopez. He was only DFA’d because of Arb cost. He struggled last year, but we know the Braves like him as they have traded for him before. Seems reasonable on all fronts, no? @crosbybaseball.bsky.social @justinctoscano.bsky.social

Come on AA. Limits on luxury tax or not, there is a lot to do to make this team better. Don’t make it so we miss out on other things because there is too much to do. Gotta start making moves here….

People do realize, $232million was end of 2024 payroll. AA has always been consistent on how they factor the “tax.” If they go to $241 for luxury tax in 2025, and duck the tax, can’t he still say payroll went up? Even though he’s using pretax 2024 number and luxury tax 2025. Seems very AA “on brand”
