If they had gotten Kelenic from the M's, then they would just worry about trading for the best packages, without excluding positions. Opens up for more possibilities rather than saying "we need this guy because he plays OF."

Is it because he has an appreciation thread here with only 1.169 service time to his name?

But that's not actually eating money. International slot money is more "potential to spend." Not actual cash.

If we don't end up with the top pick or 2, I hope we pick outside of the top 6. Next season is going to be baaaaad. Worse than last season.

You seem pretty confident Eloy is going. Are you hearing they just don't like him or something and are willing to sell low rather than hold him and see if he can improve his value?

They SHOULD be. But we know they don't like taking back bad money.

All good. But yes, I agree. Marco is a fine back end addition for the Braves.

I was specifically talking about Evan White, who’s owed $15M over the next 2 years (plus buyouts) and hasn’t even appeared in the MLB since 2021.

Jerry wouldn’t eat the money on Evan White.

We’re probably going to pay about that for a filler. And for the Braves, they could just be stockpiling arms like the Dodgers and move him to the pen.

The Braves oldest OF'r is Acuna at 26. Wow.

I just correcting the "big league" part as that refers to MLB when used.

Looking into this now, it doesn't look like Sling has MLBN. Damn. Might have to try your suggestion.

Eloy and Robert also had 0 big league experience FWIW.

That's true. Curse my eyes for tricking me first thing in the morning.

They didn’t even get 5 top prospects for Sale. They won’t here either.

Yes they do.

Yeah they used Kelenic to salary dump Gonzo and White.

I think Braves will use him in the OF. Makes Grissom more expendable though.

Yeah, that seems unnecessary.

This team is going to be worse than last year

They don’t have anywhere near enough of any position, fielding or pitching.

They don’t have enough. Nowhere near enough.

Just play him in AAA.

Yeah Colas has options. Keep him around as depth at least over Sheets.
