The Phillies are pushing for Madison Bumgarner.
My hope is enough budget left for SP, 3B.
Would be nice for an OF, but need to deal Inciarte & Greene to open up cap space.
I love you brother. As much as a straight man can bro. hug another!
I’d trade Riley, the problem is Alex in his interviews has stated they value him.
Maybe they will deal him, if the right deal is present. I do think Austin looks more durable than Ender. I could be looking at it from “behind.” Get it, Ender and behind and I’m still straight?
Hopefully the Braves will be good enough to grab one of the Wildcard spotsThanks, Fred! Happy Thanksgiving to you, and all of our Swarmers. We have such a great group of Baseball gents. on this site.
The Nats. catching is superior to the Braves. IMHO. Glad the boys are back. Atlanta doesn’t seem to have the funds for Stephen Strasburg or Anthony Rendon, therefore I’d like Washington to resign them. I know my Braves brethren want them out of the league or division for that matter, if we can’t have either or both of those studs. I want competition and if the locals can’t win the W.S., I want your D.C. marvels to repeat.
I know this is turkey time, but if we can’t entertain Rain Bringer for 25m.(some pundits have predicted Texas, Washington or Philly), I’d like to find Moose, Hammels and Haniger under my Christmas tree.Hopefully the Braves will be good enough to grab one of the Wildcard spots
Those players would be nice consolation prizesI know this is turkey time, but if we can’t entertain Rain Bringer for 25m.(some pundits have predicted Texas, Washington or Philly), I’d like to find Moose, Hammels and Haniger under my Christmas tree.
Was trying to be realistic....would rather find Gerrit “Cole” in my stocking, Mookie “Betts” on my Christmas “bookie” card/flash paper and “Rudolph Rendon” on the roof near the chimney!Those players would be nice consolation prizes

I would say get Moose and Hamels. If we were to do that though, I think that we would also need to trade for an OF. Somebody like Mitch Haniger or Trey Mancini. We need a RH power bat in the middle of the order behind Freddie.So if it’s true that the Braves have 25 m. left to spend, barring any sudden trades before the Winter Meetings commence on Dec. 8...Do you want Donaldson for that with no FA starter or Moose and Hammels(or another starter in that 10-15 m. range)??
Atlanta could stay in-house at 3B and splurge for any SP?
It’s your call, you are the volunteer G.M. for the day with the final decision?

Totally agree on filling three needs, especially with Haniger(even if we trade Inciarte and two prospects who are at AA or below). The Moose can hit 4th and Mitch 5th. We don’t seem to have a LHSP coming up, unless you include Newk.I would say get Moose and Hamels. If we were to do that though, I think that we would also need to trade for an OF.
