The Atlanta Braves

[vols 30]

What caused the lockout? I'm 100% out of the loop on that.

All the other teams rather stay at home than play the Braves next year

I can give you five paragraphs if you want

No thanks, GAVol did it in 8 words. I figured it was money but I don't know the details. I thought they were getting paid plenty.

The main thing is the players are adamant about reaching free agency earlier and drawing more from revenue and the owners don’t want that, especially the revenue part especially after the pandemic.

Diversion tactic? AA trying to appease and show fans Braves will spend if FF walks? Correa looking for $300M+ and Braves won't give FF $180M? Fishy.

Can he play first?

 

[C/O]

I’m thinking we need a work stoppage every season. The Braves seem to win a WS when 1 rolls around.

Don’t fall for Manfred’s BS. I’m not saying that the MLBPA are 100% in the right but this letter from Manfred is an absolute joke

…we have seen over the last two years how incredibly incompetent Tony Clark and the MLBPA are.

 

[Florida Stanley]

It still ️

He could play third and Riley shift to first. 10/300 and 6/180 are the same AAV.

And we would be worse in every way

Correa doesn’t move my needle, which it doesn’t matter. He’s not signing with Atlanta.

 

[Regulator]

Weird.

I really don’t understand the issue with a 6th year for Freddie. I mean, we just stole a championship, we are playing with house money. A 6th year is small potatoes. It’s inconsequential to the greater scheme and the risk reward.

They’ll be giving scrubs $50-60 million by then anyways

Agree we could move Riley, but we need a LH bat at the top of the lineup. I’d rather have the 38 yr old LH 1B with a 300 career avg than a 38 yr old SS/3B whose best year was .279 and fewer HR than FF for the same AAV.

Exactly lol

And he doesn’t have to give you 6 years of exceptional baseball for the contract to be “worth it”

5 years 6 years 20 years who cares? As long as it’s not a ridiculous AAV, sign him.

Give him a milli for life like Bobby Bonilla

I'm surprised there aren't more deals like that with deferred money. These guys' earning window slams shut in their 30s. You'd think the guaranteed long term income would be appealing.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I thought it was said players could work out with team doctors?

Also, I just wanna say I'm not in favor of that whole Correa idea. He's solid but he isn't Freddie. And if it's not going to be Fred the only acceptable plan B is Olsen

Correa isn’t coming to ATL. I wouldn’t fret over it too much
