The Atlanta Braves

[TBrown]

I actually think it’s a mutual option with a $3.25M buyout

Double yuck

 

[TBrown]

I keep thinking Ozuna’s numbers have to normalize with his batted ball profile. He’s still 50 points under his xwOBA

Would be nice. He can’t play the field and he’s blocking DH ABs from someone with a better batted ball profile.

 

[AV_12]

Acuna
Dansby
Olson
Riley
Willy/TDA
Mike
Ozuna
Arcia
Eddie/Grossman

 

[AV_12]

Yeah we need another bat

Bad

 

[AV_12]

Even if they needed a lefty, why Will Smith? Lol

 

[zjcvols]

Eating the Ozuna contract and trading for Josh Bell would be fantastic

Acuna
Olson
Riley
Bell
Swanson
Catcher
Rosario/Grossman
Ozzie
Mike

Now that’s a lineup

 

[Regulator]

Chevy got optioned for Grossman.

 

[LotteryPick]

Wonder if we’d go after JD Martinez

Knowing Houston, they saw his slider is still elite (44% whiff rate), make him ditch his curve and throw his slider 80-85% of the time

Muller and Ozuna for JD

 

[zjcvols]

For whatever reason dude was throwing his curve 12% of the time and gave up (I’m not making this up) a 1.078 wOBA despite having a slider that was .217 wOBA

 

[zjcvols]

Muller and Ozuna for JD

Not sure Muller is worth the $40M on the Ozuna contract for Boston

Frees up lots of possibilities financially, and adds a legit bat. I’m not convinced Muller isn’t another Newk type. Big arm with lots of walks

I don’t mind using Muller as a trade chip for a bat. I just don’t see Boston taking on the Ozuna contract.

Texas wants to compete next year. They don’t care to add money. If you attach Davidson and Ynoa and $10M of Ozuna to Texas for Martin Perez would that be a good deal? You clear $30M off the books, get Perez who has been really good this year. Strider goes to the pen so you add to your bullpen. And then clear money this year to go get another rental DH (Josh Bell, CJ Cron, Wilson Contreras). Texas gets Ozuna who has a good batter ball profile and a couple pitching prospects you can work with in the future.

 

[AV_12]

Freddie is having a really really good year

[LotteryPick]

It better be damn it

 

[Volfan1000]

I like the trade with Houston and maybe Strider goes back to the bullpen to monitor his innings.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Will Smith gone. Thank God

Strider v deGrom Sunday

That 2012 2H Kris Medlen run was so magical

 

[vols 30]

Just getting rid of Smith makes yesterday a great day. If AA some how gets rid of Ozuna today, that would be outstanding

Yes, it was.
