The Atlanta Braves

If they’re serious about resetting the tax and spending then they need to be in play for Kyle Tucker.

If you aren’t moving Murphy then you can’t be a player for Schwarber. Schwarber is a better fit at high AAV short term but he has to DH.

You can DH/C the catchers for the most part but also DH Ronald. Profar can play when Ronald DHs.

That’s the only way you can run it back with Ozzie and Allen, imo.

The Tucker contract will be way out of the Braves comfort level and honestly a bad deal but there’s not many other paths to seriously improving this team.

Bichette would significantly make this team better in the short term even if that contract will turn ugly. It's at least a solid fix for 2 years. Maybe he can play 2B after Ozzie's contract.
 
I'd rather have Tucker, move Profar to 2B, let Ozzie walk and then trade Murphy for a young SS. But knowing this team, that won't so happen.
They should get off Murphy at all costs if they can. The C/DH thing will hurt an already not very flexible 26 man
 
DH Ronald
Buy a RF
Platoon Murphy/Drake
Let Nacho play 2B
See if you can trick someone into giving you a good SS.

If Tucker is too expensive
Maybe Seattle would part with Randy

For SS id see if Colorado would part with Tovar or Arizona would part with Lawler

Then run a pen of
Holmes, Lopez, Johnson, Hernandez(closer), Lara, Lee, Harris, (actual proven lefty we sign or trade for)

Then sign a vet lefty starter
Sale, Schwelly, Lefty, Strider, Waldrep.
