The Three Players I'm watching currently for the Braves to go after are Pederson, Arozarena, and Rooker. Pederson for his Past History with the Braves in 2021, Arozarena for his Dire Need of a Change of Scenery (Soler in 2021, anyone?), and Rooker for the Braves' Connections to the A's. In terms of Pitching, I think the Braves Solution for a #5 Starter is already in the Organization, but is Working Back from Tommy John. Ian Anderson. I saw BOTH of his Rehab Starts in Low-A Augusta and he was LIGHTS OUT, VINTAGE Anderson. He cannot return to the Majors Fast Enough.
I expect them to trade for an Outfielder but it will be for a rental They already have Acuna & Harris locked up and Kelenic's under team control till 2028. I expect him to sign a deal at some point too. If they trade for an OF that has another yr on their contract, I think it would be cheap
I agree Kelenic turned out to be a whole lot better than the Braves thought. Kelenic in left , Harris lll in center and Acuna in right ? Try and put together a better offensive and defensive outfield in the Majors. Not gonna happen. And like you said Kelenic will more than likely get an extension. Brandon you hit the nail on the head.
I agree with that, I also believe it will be a rental player. Pham comes to mind, as does Taylor Ward. 2 options I mentioned in the video. Realistically AA will deal for someone everyones forgetting about and they will go on to double their war numbers as soon as they put on a Braves jersey.
The problem with the Braves isn’t the team itself, but the fans expectations of the players. Matt Oldon is around a career .350 hitter and has always struck out at a high rate. Neither catcher has good career hitting numbers as do neither the second baseman or shortstop. The fans are expecting all these players to hit .300 which it’s not their game. The organization has in the past 15/20 years developed great pitchers and zero hitters. If your expecting Adam Duvall to hit .275 and drive in 70 runs he wouldn’t be a part time player. The Braves need a revel rouser, a player with a personality that has a edge to it. Whoever the missing link might be, the organization has to be willing to take that risk of failure. Risk is everywhere. They struck out by not pushing for Ohtani. He’s paying for himself buying adding fans, selling merchandise and keeping the team in the public eye.
Max Fried will cost the Braves $0.00 because they aren't going to sign or extend him. I don't believe Fried will sign a contract that the has-to-be-close-to-maxed-out-Braves can afford.
@@MassBoost I'm asking you to consider the time stamp of when I said what I said. You can go and make a sarcastic comment now which is incredibly convenient but the reality is, it's completely understandable that I would say what I did.
@@MassBoost LOL! Sorry. I think my statement was a little defensive. The Braves don't let their business out much so it's just rumors that the Braves offered Fried a contract extension that was a similar low ball contract like they offered to Strider.
I like Pham more than all the candidates that was mentioned I mean at least for this year and the next to be exact. Because with Acuna coming back from his second stint with an ACL tear I don't think he will be 100% come next season either. I mean he's still young and everything but you just wonder if this ACL tear will mobilize his mobility in the outfield and mobility on the bases. I mean he will still have the pop in his bat but I just wonder if this will affect his speed we will just have to wait and see
@@thisisbball I mean don't get me wrong Pham is no Acuna but at this point Pham might be the best option and you can sign him to maybe a one year deal while Acuna deals with his ACL tear
@@MassBoost Yea but Duvall and Laureano are mostly platoon players while Pham is more than a platoon player and can make an immediate impact with this club
@@MassBoost He might be but of all of these candidates that were mentioned I would take Pham over all of them. But this team better start making moves very quickly because Fried is down with an injury in which he hasn't been himself this year and now you have Albies going down with an injury. So the Braves staff better start making moves or they won't make it into the postseason
@@MassBoost But he wasn't mentioned in this video I mean if Winker is out there who can make an immediate impact then go for it but if Pham is the best option well then I rather go with Pham. But now with Fried out for awhile the Braves are going to look for a front end starter and possibly a second baseman. But none of us saw the deal with Chris Sale coming and so you better believe that the front office is quietly working behind the scenes. So that tells me that the front office isn't afraid to make a move to make this team better
You trade for randy and run harris, randy and hope adam and eddie can handle right feild. Adam has been hitting the ball better but not like adam from 2001. We aslo have to sign max at the end of the year.
How about this, TRADE OLSON! The guy cannot hit and I don't care what he did last year. He struck out way too much last year and, at last look, was number 14 in strikeouts in MLB this year. And that was before Saturdays 3 strikeouts and however many he had yesterday. Why was Freddie ever an option to leave. I understand Swanson but not Freeman. Olson is another Dale Murphy. Murphy was in top three in strikeouts almost every season he played. Olson is well on his way to being the same. GET RID OF HIM NOW WHILE YOU CAN STILL POSSIBLY GET SOMEBODY FOR HIM. Even Rizzo is a better choice.
Braves wouldn’t do that due to the K rate alone. He does have other intangibles. As a spectator, I do hate the high number of whiffs especially when we examine Freeman’s contract….maybe the Braves should have just paid up. Freeman is a very tough out meanwhile Olson has been a K machine for 2 of the 3 years we’ve had him.
@@Itsme-wp8yc I know they aren't. BUT, he needs to be batting at the bottom of the lineup or sent down to get his attention. He is making a lot of money for absolutely NO effort at the plate. If he were in NY or Philly they would be booing him off the field. Braves fans should be doing the same thing because clearly the front office doesn't seem to care. They might if the fan reaction was different.
Which would you rather have going to Atlanta? Luis Robert Jr or Randy Arozarena?
cody bellinger
either one and trade Olson

@@Micahthomas323Can they get Cody I'm for it 💯
@@steve-xy9cm You are insane. Unless you are trading Olson for Freddie there isn't an equivalent first baseman in the league

I think not . Speed , power , defense, clubhouse aura, teachable , Rookie of the year 2 years ago ?

You’re forgetting Adam Duvall was picked up from Miami the first year Acuña was out.
