what’s up guys um I didn’t do last Tuesday because um Thanksgiving stuff um hope you all had a great one um share this real quick there’s not much in Braves news um we’ve just done the minor league depth uh for the most part um um [Music] so not a ton to talk about um from the Brea perspective but anyway um the big news obviously Blake Snell’s inductor introductory press conference today with the Dodgers uh five years 182 with about 60 million deferred which comes to 13.2 million deferred um which is insane to me uh but Blake sell’s great don’t get me wrong but the walk rate is insane and for the Dodgers there’s only one ball to go around so somebody’s going to be disgruntled and it may work out for them uh but who knows they just continue to fire at the loophole and I think they’re trying to mess up the salary structure so much that MLB has to look at it or something which maybe that’s what it’s going to take to get a salary cap or salary floor at the very least [Music] um but and then they signed Tommy Edmund to a fiveyear $74 million extension again some deferred money there as well uh but again there’s only nine positions and one bat and one ball to go around so we’ll see how they’re able to um manage all all of the superstars and and um how that’s able to play out otherwise um KY gsha signed a catcher for the Padre’s last year destroyed the Braves in the short playoff series against the Padres signed a two-year 13.5 million deal with the Texas Rangers I thought he could be a nice replacement for Travis darno um but that’s by the boards and honestly I think we’re Drake B I’m I’m all good with Drake Baldwin season but he’s also probably our most prized Prospect so if we were gonna um pull a trade for a short stop or something like that you would think that um Drake Baldwin may be involved um so I don’t know the Braves are really unable right now um like I said a couple of weeks ago we’ve been linked to nathany evaldi Walker buer um there’s a Korean shortstop that just or Korean infielder that just got posted maybe there’s something there um I’m not sure because the the needs list has gone through the roof kind of in terms of short stop what you do with left field and starting pitching and Charlie Morton is still um unsigned and with the prices of starting pitching Market it feels like you’re going to have to get creative again um with a Ronaldo Lope LZ reliever turn starter type thing and a lot of teams are trying to copycat that especially with Excuse me guys like Frankie montos getting 17 million a year for twoyear 34 million with the Mets I don’t really understand that one they they’re saying that they could go to a six-man rotation but if I’m being honest and I said it in my video yesterday Frankie montos hasn’t been right um since his a days with injuries and just inconsistencies but good for him to be able to get 17 million uh I think that starting pitching just cost an arm and a leg honestly um so you’re just going to have to open up the checkbook or get creative and I feel like the Braves are going to have to get creative given um the Joe Jimenez injury uh we need some help refurbishing reaffirming the bullpen as well um and what you do with left field who knows again the non- tender deadline uh we did not Tinder contracts to Griffin canning a lot of people thought we would but with 5.4 million and no minor league options I didn’t think that was a possibility the piece we got back in the Jorge Solair trade I I just didn’t see it at all um we also we picked up Jared Kellick Eli white and Dylan Lee those were not surprises um rayer is back in the organization he’s recovering from Tommy John surgery obviously but he’s on a minor league deil so they had an injury settlement there and saladas is back in the organization as well with a minor league deal we did um ink Conor Gillespie uh right-handed pitcher to a non-guaranteed uh split contract in 2025 with an invite to spring training um he did have a solid season in the kbo and 12 teams were after him I think it’s more of a lowrisk high reward type of thing and uh maybe trying to find a diamond in the rough like a grand holes um that we did last year Spencer swell and Bach coming up and doing what he did in the starting rotation there was some Scuttle butt from Braves beat Rider Mark Bowman that the main reason the Braves traded William conas was because a lot of guys did not prefer to throw to him uh probably specifically Max Reed um and that’s why we pulled off the Shawn Murphy deal or it makes a little bit more sense um because you do have to have continuity uh with your with your starting pitching and if you’re not comfortable throwing to a catcher that could be an issue plus you don’t want to put too much um stress unless you make it a personal catcher situation uh which in 2022 I think Travis was exclusively with Max Reed so you draw that what you will but you want uh the continuity between your pitchers and catchers to be as perfect as they can be so that makes a little more sense and I honly think Shawn Murphy is the perfect bounceback candidate for the Braves this year um he did mention that couple of guys that could be on the Block AJ Smith Sher I actually see AJ Smith Scher is a high high potential leverage reliever just because as a starter his breaking stuff is too is too inconsistent so far and I think he would be awesome in in just like one inning stints and that could be a possibility as well with the Joe Jimenez injury but um they did say that hon walri seems Untouchable at this point uh we look like we have a plan with him so I don’t mind it plus I think pulling a plug on a 2023 first round pick maybe a little too quick um of course it depends on the deal it depends on the player and it depends on the contract that we end up um inking with the player that we get maybe um but I and Drake Baldwin obviously had talked about that he could be um he could be on the move but he also could be the backup catcher to Sean Murphy obviously we still have Chad to Trump and did solid as well and he knows a lot of our pitchers so could be that um Drake Baldwin is one that I really want to keep in the Braves uniform but again it depends on the deal the person and the situation um because like I said a lot I don’t think that the brav can afford to struggle um in left field and shortstop as much as we did last year plus the uncertainties with Max Reed’s free agency Charlie Morton’s free agency and just the age and the health concerns that are are there in our rotation without Spencer shed coming back till maybe May so I think again it’s a lot of questions but a lot of excitement Poss possibilities plus with the winter meetings right around the corner I think they start next Monday so that’s a thing to think about as well um a Chapman signed a one year 10 and a half 10.75 million deal with the Boston Red Sox Chapman still got a flamethrower but he is uh a wild ride no matter how you slice it even when he was the one of the most productive closers in baseball uh but good for him to continue to get work um uh I just never thought I’d see him in a Boston uniform but hey seven teams keep cashing those checks and and doing your job and he has for the most part uh his walk rate is the thing that scares me and his effectively wildness um but but good for him and uh I think the other big trade that I didn’t talk about was Jonathan India going to the Kansas City Royals for Brady singer I think it’s a great deal for both sides you’ve got the um Kansas City that gets a reliable infielder um a reli able lead off hitter that can get on base in many different ways has some pop he was the NL Rookie of the Year for a reason um he’s had some injuries and just the the constant trade talk um surrounding him over the last couple years I think it’s a good change of scenery thing as well um it lengthens the Kansas City lineup and Brady singer has been really really solid uh and that’s a really good rotation piece for the Reds whose rotation has quickly become one of the more underrated ones obviously it’s not a fun um home Ballpark and a great American small Park to pitch in but he’s held his own um and I don’t think the Kansas City Royals would have been able to or wanted to pay him because you’ve got Cole Reagan um probably needing an extension sooner rather than later so was one of those things that I think it’s going to end up being a win-win trade for both um sides it is a little awkward that the bravs haven’t really made a significant move to the major league roster but I do like the minor league depth that we’ve accumulated so far and um we’ll just see how everything plays out because it’s 40 to 50 I believe 45 to 50 million for Alex anopolis to play with and five open roster spots with the non- tender deadline so there’s a lot of puzzle pieces yet to be placed and uh really exciting and kind of scary to see how it happens but with the starting pitching price tag Matthew Boyd getting two years 29 million from the Cubs 14.5 million for a guy that was hurt most of 2024 but he did show out nicely for the Guardians in the playoffs I mean it’s it’s uh like I said earlier you’re just gonna have to be really creative um with that and so it’ll be interesting how we pull it off maybe uh maybe with the rise or a trade with the Rays or the Giants or something of to that effect could be a possibility I don’t know why Pete Fairbanks feels goodish um just kind of throwing some things out there but obviously we never know with Alex anopolis um the golden bat the golden batter or rule or whatever it’s called is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard um where a team would be able to select one player to bat um no matter where they are in the lineup at least once I think that’s the dumbest thing ever um it it demeans what baseball means and it’s it takes away the magical moments um for the underdog guys and the unexpected Heroes the unexpected heroes are one of the things that endear us all to sports and I think that’s just annoyingly stupid to even consider um so that is my take on that and I hope Rob Manford doesn’t do that at all I think it’s annoying um and just worry about blackouts and all the TV ISS shoes and all that stuff he should worry about that more than uh or just keeping the baseballs the same would be nice as well um or just just coming up with a universal sticky sticky substance so you don’t have as many hip batters and and maybe some consistency understanding on the elbow injuries that type of thing I’d rather him focus on that than putting some weird non Baseball rule in into effect um so that’s pretty much my take on that um I don’t know if I have anything else um sorry about the uh lighting I don’t know why it does that um but what else what else what else is the chat working I hope see yeah I think it is okay um for I know that was a pretty short and sweet but I think that is all I’ve got um yeah I mean brav to make a more significant move to see um what kind of pieces um what kind of what kind of direction we’re going it’d be nice um because honestly I don’t know but like I said the price tags of a lot of things are are Hefty so you got to weigh um the knee-jerk reaction versus um versus doing what’s right for your team so I think that’s the big the big issue and um we’ll see how the Braves were able are able to play it and I’m really excited to see what the first Domino is so to speak um but other than that uh Juan stto decision may come within 10 days but the he’s starting to eliminate teams my gu says either the Mets or the Red Sox um but that is pretty much all I have for today I know it’s only 20 or so minutes but I don’t want to uh try to make make up too many things just because you need content but um there’s not much going on right now so as always cool Braves Champions forever hit that like button hit that subscribe button helps out a lot thanks guys and I’ll see you next Tuesday when the winner meetings uh will be in full swing so hopefully we have a ton to talk about can’t wait and thanks for the support
