2020 Atlanta Braves News

I would give them Austin Riley and Mike Folynewicz

Yeah, I don’t think that’s enough. If I were Colorado, I’d want more to try and compete. Better my club through the trade. Plus I’m eating 20-50 million in contract terms.

I just think Atlanta would have gone 7 years on Rendon & a sandwich pick, rather than 8 years and half the starting lineup for Arenado to help the Rockies compete?

 

[Buzzbomb]

Wouldn't part with Soroka, Fried or Acuna under any circumstances ... on Albies, talk to me !

I’m totally guessing here, looking at Colorado needs.
Would you give up Albies, Fried or Wright, Anderson, Riley and Waters?

They probably insist on Fried over Wright or Wilson. Might favor Pache over Waters.

Buzz, Fried would be non-negotiable for me ... I think he has as much, if not more of upside as Soroka.
IMO, Fried and Soroka are the rocks in the Braves future starting rotation ... I know we have some young arms with potential, but these two guys have proven themselves in the "show" !!

You'd make Mike Rizzo proud, @GTJake

Let’s be clear, I wouldn’t give up any of those guys, even Riley. The salary could cripple the club in time. Injuries happen and I don’t hear much about insurance paying for these players these days? Money is whacked.

Arenado has a no-Trade clause. It could be a moot point. Bud Black, mgr., stated he wouldn't trade Nolan. They are taking calls on all the players. A 71-91 club must listen.

Again, give me one reason you would try to validate Alex’s interest, when Rendon took less than this from the Angels? I can’t imagine serious interest from Atlanta. Too many players surrendered in a bounty, could be like what Teixera did to our future.

I can handle a weak hitting third baseman in 2020 if the Braves can make a trade for a hard hitting outfielder. If the Braves have a weak hitting third baseman and don't trade for a hard hitting outfielder they may have a winning record but they wont make the NL Playoffs.

I agree 100%.
I’d accept a platoon with Riley and Camargo.
I’ve heard some say they don’t like Ozuna(not on this site, but a couple of guys on a podcast). I like him. Requires zero in compensation.
Definitely shop Ender and Greene.
Think it was Bowman or O’Brien who caught up with G.M. Alex on the way out yesterday. He told them, the groundwork was ahead of schedule from last year, to do several things. Emphasis on a power hitter in the middle of the order, back-up SS and a SP.

I thought Ozuna was tied to draft pick compensation.

Blah, blah, blah ...

I have a feeling you won’t mind Riley thrown in? Everyone calls(per sources)about Soroka, Fried, Acuna or Albies. Would you part with any of them?

That feeling you're having isn't just gas.

 

[Buzzbomb]

I think the Cardinals wouldn’t make a qualifying offer to guarantee him the 17.8 m. automatic 1 year, if he were to accept which wasn’t a choice? I could be wrong.

I know the Giants gave a Q.O. to Will Smith(he refused it)and Braves didn’t chance him being out there long. We owe a sandwich selection.

Josh D. turned his Q.O. down at 34 yo. and a .259 BA. Atlanta is due a pick, if he goes elsewhere.

I can't wait to see The Fresh Prince of Atlanta close for the Braves

I have my I.B.S. under control, kind sir. Don’t drink beer(don’t tell stech81 that).
I’ve learned a few keys to eliminate indigestion, I’ll pass on. Dark meats, coffee, juices, chocolate, too much Vitamin C and Calcium, can contribute greatly.
This PSA was brought to you by someone who admits to being FOS. But not for long.

Apologize for derailing the beginning of the post-Winter Meetings.

 

[Buzzbomb]

Ozuna did get a Q.O., last minute, before midnight.
He declined.
Draft pick is due. Unless St. Louis signs him.

The Braves announced that they have re-signed utilityman Charlie Culberson. It’s a minor league deal with a non-roster invitation for Spring Training. Culberson can earn at a $1MM rate in the majors, per MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand (via Twitter).

are we still in the running for Donaldson??

From what I hear, we aren’t even chasing him

That is not what I've heard, but it wouldn't surprise me.

It looks like 3rd will possibly be a weak spot in 2020

Culberson Turned Down Major League Offers.
Braves save 800k and a slot on the 40-man roster.
