I can see Acuna with 40 plus but to do I think they would have to move him out of the leadoff spot. If Freddie has an injury free season he's capable as well

I don't think Acuna will be leadoff hitter much longer

The Braves aren't planning on issuing a qualifying offer to Nick Markakis. They probably don't want to risk a 17.9 million dollar offer given his age and how aging outfielders have struggled in free agency in recent years.

Anibal Sanchez said he plans on pitching in 2019

 

[Buzzbomb]

As expected, Snitker signed for two more years plus Braves option for 2021.
Chuck Hernandez on hot seat. Most walks in league.

The Braves need to chuck Chuck Hernandez

He's been fired IIUC.

Great News

I was passing along what the press was speculating. Not everyone follows the beat or probably realized the statistic of most walks. Glad it was an automatic for you!

Mark Bowman: Braves have at least 60 m. to spend.
David O’Brien: Maybe only half of that, to spend.

The Yankees (previously reported), Dodgers, Giants and Braves are among the teams that are expected to “show a lot of interest” in left-hander Patrick Corbin once free agency starts, Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe writes. The 29-year-old Corbin is coming off a career season at the perfect time, having logged a 3.15 ERA/2.47 FIP with 11.07 K/9 and 2.16 BB/9 over 200 innings in 2018. As a result of that top-notch production, it’s likely Corbin will price himself out of Arizona and perhaps ink a nine-figure contract with someone.

Needs: SP, RP, Catcher, Corner OF. Some saying, maybe 3B? I like Camargo as a starter, not as much as a super-sub.

Interesting article concerning the Braves 2019 starting lineup

Good article, Mike! Thanks.
He must have relegated Camargo to super sub. with Culberson. I think Johan starts the season at third, no matter what kind of spring Riley has. Pache could be a late April call up, no doubt. I see us as needing a younger catcher.

I agree Buzzbomb

So as the finalists were announced yesterday – position by position – we saw recognition for a team ranking 3rd in the National League defensively. (by fangraphs’ reckoning)…However, Dansby Swanson was omitted.

• 1st base – Freddie Freeman
• Pitcher – Julio Teheran
• Left Field – Adam Duvall (yeah, really!)
• Center Field – Ender Inciarte
• Right Field – Nick Markakis

I hope the Braves strengthen their pitching staff in the offseason

Me thinks Julio, is going to be going way down, beyond the school yard.
As kg01 likes to call me the prophet, I don’t see any chance of the Braves not trading Tehran. If it doesn’t happen by NorthPort, it will by the end of next August.

Yeah the Braves need to trade Teheran for whatever they can get for him

 

[Buzzbomb]

Exactly, Brother Mike!
A bag of balls, a few bats, a prospect in “A” Ball. A Greg Olson, A Matt Harvey type where you trade salary for reasonable salary or a change of scenery for both players.
