The Atlanta Braves

I talked him up in this thread before the season, but Ament the last 3 games...I know he's a freshman but yikes. Are people still going to say he's a top 5 pick? He isn't in the same universe as these other guys he was mentioned in the same breath as (Boozer, Dybantsa, etc.)
 
Some Braves nuggets:


The first has already been well-documented. Even after acquiring Mauricio Dubon, the Braves are still keeping close tabs on shortstop Ha-Seong Kim, who they came to really appreciate during his trial run with the club over the final month of the season. “However, a serious shoulder injury ended his 2024 season early,” Bowden writes. “It also derailed his 2025 season, allowing him to play in just 48 games combined with the Rays and Braves. He’s healthy now and there is tremendous interest in the 30-year-old, including from both the Braves and Brewers, and he would immediately be an upgrade at shortstop for either of them, assuming his arm strength is fully back in 2026."
Additionally, Bowden notes that the Braves have shown interest in Phillies starter Ranger Suárez. “There are several teams besides the Phillies that have interest in Suárez, including the Astros, Braves, Padres, Mets, Angels and Tigers.”

Yes to both
 
Turrentine cost this team a lot of points last season. It's a more legitimate use of money when you have the best QB in the nation enrolling early.
Is there a reason why we can't get a starting caliber safety and keep JA?

I'd much rather find another Jakobe Thomas type of safety from a smaller school and keep JA rather than spend a million for whatever P4 safety you think is the top guy and roll with unproven guys at QB.
