OldTimer’s Dugout - Off Topic Thread


He isn’t saying anything that we already aren’t aware of. True Braves fans know Acuña was never going to play his entire career for us. That’s just not how they do business. Chipper was an exception to the rule because he took pay cuts. In this new world of sports, there are no loyalties so might as well trade him after the 2027 season. I could see him getting traded to the Red Sox or Yankees at some point but the Braves won’t deal him to the Dodgers if that is what you are thinking.

Junior guard Jaland Lowe and sophomore forward Jayden Quaintance are listed as out for Kentucky.
Well now you've really gone and done it. There's a well known malady that's tormented this program and fan base for a long, long time. It's the curse of the backups. You put us up against a backup pitcher, PG or QB....or even a WR playing QB, and it does not bode well for us.

Let it be known that what happens today against UK is not on my head. No....this is on you my friend. YOU invoked the evil spirits that torment us. In this matter, I am blameless.
 
There should be a luxury tax lottery for all the teams that stay below the tax threshold. Take the total luxury tax amongst all the teams overspending, put it into a pot and let the ping pong balls decide it. The only rules are you are ineligible for the lottery for 4 years after winning it and you must spend that lottery money over those 4 years while maintaining a payroll within $20M of the threshold set for those years. Otherwise you will receive a postseason ban and/or draft pick losses.
