Good thing we're saving all this money to do nothing with.

I mean…we did trade for a top three catcher and gave him $88M and crossed the luxury tax threshold lol

We needed a LF or SS or somebody to DH, we got a catcher when we had 2 all star catchers already.

I wouldn’t call TDA an all-star despite being solid.

I mean, I would have rather used resources (especially Willy) at LF or SS, but Murphy is a legit star talent. Dude is impressive. An elite two way catcher. And getting him at this price should be illegal. And makes the trade more tolerable.

I see a lot of Notre Dame smoke with Sam Hartman, but Heupel should throw the bag at him lol. He’d put up video game numbers

 

[Volfan1000]

Murphy signed. 6/$73M with a team option for a 7th year

Solid extension for a very solid defensive catcher.

Luka forever

Depends. Josh can probably run any offense, but he needs a dude with a cannon for the current iteration. I don’t know if Hartman has that

Someone’s mad their favorite team gave Brandon Nimmo $160M

Him, Giannis, Tatum, Booker, Ja. League in good hands

What a loser

His accuracy and pocket presence are great. His arm is fine. He’d had us right back in the mix next year. I can’t say that about Joe right now.

Is his leg about to fall off or something First the Giants, now the Mets. Have to wonder what the doctors are seeing?

So I read an article that these type of signings that are over 6-7 years are incredibly thorough compared to what he got last year where he only signed a 3 year deal (with an opt out after year 1). There might be something where they are worried in year 8-9-10 that something flares up with his leg. It’s weird though. I wonder if maybe one leg is taller than the other or something like Greg Oden?

I can’t stand this dweeb. But he isn’t wrong.

Already seeing it with Acuna

This is not how it works or how you do business tho

AA must have a plaque in his office that reads: ‘Run ‘em again’

Jake Mastrionni of Locked On Braves said during last night's podcast that there might be another move to address the shortstop hole since the Braves are already over the first tax threshold with the Murphy extension.

Aside from the lack of current prospects (which can and should be addressed in the next several drafts) what’s wrong with this approach? It is different and unusual, but it’s not as if we’ve made long term commitments to a team full of scrubs. Nobody twisted any arms for the players to commit to the contracts they signed, but it’s a sound move for the organization so long as player performance continues at the current levels.

I’ve talked myself into Vaughn at SS, but man I would feel better with another bat. LF or DH
