The Atlanta Braves

Just gave him away

My SF Giants making moves!!!

 

[vols 30]

I need to see what they’re getting back but absolutely should not be doing what they’re doing

Disagree. This team isn't going anywhere. Need some young prospects.

I dont expect them to do anything though.

 

[AV_12]

winnable national league and the Barves are not a factor

 

[AV_12]

Good for the Giants tho

yeah the point is to get a sufficient return

 

[AV_12]

Giving Devers that deal and giving him away is just laughable. No other way to put it

Not this year but they still have plenty of pieces to contend for years to come we just have to be willing to spend on good players to fill our needs. Zero reason to do a rebuild what the Red Sox just did would be like trading Austin Riley away

 

[AV_12]

Go get story for nothing lol

 

[Regulator]

They must have hated Devers in Boston and just got away from his contract because that’s a horrible return package.

Have you seen that contract… no thanks

They just cleared a lot of money. Give a no name A baller, and have them absorb some cash and they’d gladly give him away. SS market is bare and you are watching NICK ALLEN everyday

J.J Spaun today.

Where would he play?

Where would he play?

He’s a top 10 bat in the game. Our 3B sucks and our DH, who won’t be here next year has a cracked hip. Take your pick. But of course Chickenopolis can’t pull the trigger

DH only on a $300M contract is a very tough pill to swallow but he would have been a perfect fit. Devers/backup C for Murphy and 3 of our pitching prospects and I’d definitely have a meeting

 

[zjcvols]

I can’t prove this but this might be the first $300M contract that’s been traded. Hell Cano is the only $200M contract that comes to mine

It’s a much better bat than our current long term 3B who is looking like a DH only himself

Arenado, Price and Verlander are the only other ones. Arenado had an opt out pending, Price and Verlander both had just two years remaining. Devers is signed through 2033.

I also don’t buy the Braves making any inquiries. AA wasn’t gonna take $235M left on a contract

Which will be his age 36 season. Probably going to see a rough last couple of years with that contract (he's not a great defensive player).

If he can play 1B it’s more manageable. He can pick it a little he just has zero range and a suspect arm. But before this year the profile suggested that would end up bad. His walk rate has skyrocketed this year, idk if that’s a short term thing or something new. If it’s sustainable he goes up a notch.

He refused to play 1B, which played into trading him

*He hasn't played in the field at all this year, strictly DH after losing 3B to Bergman

This account usually has a pretty good lead on things.

No I get, but that I was talking for San Fran. He might be more open to it with a new team
