yeah I guess hello what’s up guys it is CMAC chat Tuesday hopefully um [Music] get let me share this real quick [Music] let me share this real quick there we go sorry technology give me a bug boo today what’s up Hudson uh not much uh for the Braves not much for everybody else a lsh but it’s not that I’m uh it’s kind of l oh there we go um I’m not worried about it too [Music] much Cody Bellinger finally a Yankee probably the worst kept secret in baseball uh a right-handed pitcher went the Cubs way and the Yankees took the majority of the contract um the the Cubs only sent five million but they did did free up about 22 to 25 million for their roster this year um for the Braves I did not realize that we only have had like six players on our guette roster so we’ve done a nice job of recouping that um yeah belly has had a weird career so far um I don’t I don’t know that he lived up to what it everybody thought it was GNA be but he does have an MVP um under his belt so and I think it’s it’s a good get for the Yankees I just for their sake I hope he doesn’t opt out uh next year but uh playing first base and center field moving judge back to right field that’s probably best for judge too I think the Yankees have had a really solid offseason um after not getting SoDo uh yeah uh yeah for sure just uh definitely up and down um but pivoting to the Braves for a second I didn’t realize how uh we didn’t really have a triple A team uh there was only six players with options that we still in our organization so I think we’ve done a nice job of recouping that with uh Brian De La Cruz Jordan Willams um the flamethrower from Washington today that yes he doesn’t know where it’s going all the time but uh um I think we’ve done a nice job of of replenishing that depth we also are expected to sign a top 10 International Outfield Prospect his name is a let me make sure I get this one right uh hold on I didn’t share this one um Diego torren uh We’ve we’ve uh been really active in in uh the International Market of of late and that starts in January hitters wise um so we’re trying to do that again with Diego torren um our late our uh recent International prospects are kind of struggling with injuries or breaking balls or different things so but the depth is still important in the minor leagues so that is helping um we haven’t really made a significant move for the um MLB roster yet uh obviously with two big holes Max re going to the Bronx that was official today and um Charlie Morton still out there I still think his likely destination is us um for 10 to 13 million but we’ll see how that goes um the Oriol signed a a Japanese pitcher he had a 167 erra yesterday to a one-year $13 million uh deal I never heard of him so but I think it’s a nice pivot for um for Baltimore although I thought Baltimore would be more active um I don’t know about a blockbuster trade maybe um because there is there has been more infield depth that we’ve accumulated and we did get to see him a little bit last year so maybe we have a bigger picture of what’s of what we expect um house on Kim is still out there so it’s kind of a still the dream possibility is still uh alive so to speak but I could see that more than I could see well if a more blockbuster trade Drake Baldwin would probably have to be in it and I really don’t want that to happen just because our ability to develop uh catchers has been amazing really and we haven’t been able to uh see the fruits of the labors um so to speak so if I if uh if I had to guess yes Alvarez I would be fine to actually part ways with um I know Orlando Aria is on the last year of his contract I think I think it I think he has an option for 2026 the dream scenario for me would be able to would be be able to sign house on Kim have Orlando Aria as your utility backup because he’s done it before um and great defense so if house on Kim still has to rehab his shoulder you still have that great defensive depth um there as well yes starting pitching is still a need but again I think um we’ve done a nice job of replenishing the minor league depth especially in Triple A um so I think that’s that’s been a good Focus um I think Jordan Montgomery still might be on the table even though he doesn’t necessarily give me the warm and fuzzies but I think um that could be a a salary dump type of deal for for Arizona and I think we could we could recoup it I mean you got some Texas Blood now with the hidden coach of uh Tim hyers um and we know what karanas can do uh so that’s a thought um the Oakland A’s have actually done a couple moves that I liked I think uh Jeffrey sprigs was a nice get for them even though his arm troubles last couple of years it’s kind of scary and I think the Tampa did really well with that too um I was thinking earlier because the Rangers acquired Jake burger from the Marlins and then I saw something that said jock Peterson’s interested in the Rangers I wonder if a does Garcia would be available I really like that possibility maybe um that’s well Joseph that’s why I’m just going to call them the A’s I don’t think I’m gonna ever call them the Las V Las Vegas A’s uh um uh if I if I KNE if I had a crystal ball uh Charles then I would I would tell you when we’re going to make moves and all that stuff but these prices and And Trades are tricky you got to make sure the money works you got to make sure the culture work you got to make sure a lot of things work um so I don’t know but I’m not going to get concerned about it until February March honestly because there’s there’s a lot of there’s a lot of key free agent still out there there’s a lot of moves that could be made um and the dois Garcia just a name that popped in my head in recent days that maybe maybe that’s a target of some sort um we also got to remember we still have Matt Olson um we still have Michael Harris the second we still have Azie alz uh yeah I talked about the international signing a little bit because we’re projected to sign Diego torren uh top 10 Prospect um when we’ve typically been very active in the international market after the the sanctions uh were lifted so um that should once again help with the minor league depth and um having guys with OP options um CU we don’t have a lot of that on the 40 man roster I think five to seven guys are out of options so they either make the team or go back or go back through waivers um so I think doing doing things in different ways I know um he’s not never listen to bra Facebook heck don’t listen to any Brave social media except maybe me uh no I’m just kidding but people overreact people uh throw random crap out there that’s definitely not true and Matt olon is definitely not leaving the Braves um so I I don’t I don’t know where that comes from um obviously the Braves had to decided to cancel Braves Fest this year and the first response was well that’s because they’re cheap uh and that’s not the case yeah my favorite time of the year not uh as a content creator it’s a weird time of year and trying to uh Stave off the negativity and all this stuff and let’s not forget that Al Alex andopolis has kind of been bitten by bigger moves in his past and like the sah card trade the David Price trade the and all that stuff and it’s not like everybody’s made huge moves I mean the Phillies haven’t made too much um the Nationals Seattle like a lot of teams haven’t made a lot of moves um that could have used some moves and it’s yeah that’s that’s been that’s been a while for years they should deserve another ballpark or move or something um but with the hurricane um taking their roof off they’re going to play in the Yankees Triple A Stadium I believe this year um so there’s that um yeah and don’t get me wrong I want us to make a significant move um just because it’s fun I think everybody’s H having fomo fear of missing out more than actually um looking at the roster and different things that um that we do have still I mean yes we need improvements but it it it a lot of factors have to happen and uh yes it’s not our money but also don’t want to just throw money and then look at look at it a year or two down the road and say oh crap we’re in cap or roster roster strangulation with for a lack of better term because you can’t get rid of one of those bad contracts um and so it’s a delicate balance uh that that I’m glad I don’t have to as of now Bryce Helder is going to be a big factor I don’t Bryce Elder’s one of those we’ve seen how good he can be for a half and maybe the triaa yo-yo um that he experienced last year with all the spot star will be a good thing for him but um I don’t I I don’t know I’m more excited about um AJ Smith Sher um being a bigger factor I Bryce Elder is one that I really can’t figure out um I want him to be successful but it feels like that could be a change of scenery guy and impossible trade chip of some sort just I don’t know um he just seems kind of in the limbo and obviously right now as of right now we have two open um rotation spots but technically you need about eight or nine um starters to get through a 162 so um I don’t know the R Elder is one of the talk about social media topics or least liked Braves I can remember I think so it’ll be interesting to see the role he plays obviously as of right now it’ll be a bigger a bigger role um I think dville Hernandez is going to be a huge Factor um in the bullpen I need his walks walks and Wild Ness to go down and I hope um that will but I think he’s going to be a huge factor in the pin um but right now it’s just all speculating um because you’re replenishing minor leagues you’re rep uh yeah I think maton will definitely um will’ll definitely do that for sure uh he’s had he’s uh he’s due his wife is due with uh their first child so you got the dad pop possibility to come back and um 54 and 132 two years ago so you’re going to I mean Matt olon is definitely um slated for for a a bounceback year even though it wasn’t a bad year it was a bad year for Matt Olson standards um and obviously we need him to play Big um for sure and I think he will do that um no doubt um so we still got a lot of good players on our roster there’s just a lot of questions that everybody has and uh everybody thinks we’re cheap and every I I don’t know if it’s true I don’t know but it’s also the delicate balance of all the injuries last year versus throwing money at a problem when we don’t we’re not the Dodgers we’re not the Yankees we never have been and you got to be smart um Austin’s fine Austin will be ready for spring training Ronald probably won’t be back till May I would guess cuz they’re not going to rush it um but again this is all me speculating which I am very bad at doing uh yeah he did um but he just W he was trying to get back for the playoffs but the bad timeline didn’t work but as far as I know uh he will be back and ready for spring training unless something of the 2024 injury luck is still uh is still percolating um but as far as I know Austin is fine and is good to go um um but yeah I mean a lot of I mean Kyle Tucker going to the Cubs is kind of cool uh I think I I appreciate what the clbs have done I just don’t know if they’re ready necessarily this year but they’re at least like um definitely next year but the NL Central is very weird no Spencer Strider will not be ready to for spring training I would say he’s on the same timeline as Ronald um May um so that’s why starting pitching is obviously obviously very important and so we’ll see how creative we can get there um there’s probably Camilo Duval is still an interesting um an interesting trade Target I think from the Giants um I hesitate to say anybody from the Rays um but Pete Fairbanks was a name that I saw as well as a possible trade candidate um but I mean at least uh we have spener swach and you have you have your solid three um chrisel Ronaldo Lopez and um Spencer swelling box so that’s a solid three plus a lot of young guys um and again you don’t uh trade Jorge solir um and restructure the contracts of Aaron bummer and bernaldo Lopez to not spin somewhere I just don’t know where and um how how the upgrades Alex anthopoulos like he keeps everything close to the V even though we we were in on Nathan e valdi possibly still on Walker buer even though Walker buer was looking for some opt outs so I don’t know that we don’t do the opt out thing so that’s a little less likely um but again it’s probably somebody we’re not even talking about out that’s why I threw out doie Garcia maybe um I’m surprised that like I said I’m surprised Boston or Baltimore hasn’t been more active given their owners um complete green light to spend and how the AL East is shaping up and the Blue Jays haven’t done anything either uh Devin Williams is a good get for the Yankees again but hopefully doesn’t punch any walls but also that’s on a one year so if you don’t get the extension there could be a little weird um so I mean there’s what uh no his his contract is to um it I guess that could be creative for sure I just think it’s um uh probably less likely was still about 70 70 mil on the contract in his recent injury history um but it could be um but again you so there’s a lot of high high leverage guys still out on the the free agent Market I am surprised the relief Market has been as slow as it has um but um let’s see is there anything else um yeah but I mean the braids have just been pretty much recouping depth in the minor leagues and and got a couple of guys from the rule five draft that could be intriguing um and getting the that’s a possibility but I would think as a reliever I’d like him more I don’t I don’t know um starter wise I don’t know given that we traded him and and things of that nature we usually when we trade a guy uh there’s a deep there’s a bigger reason so and typically we don’t bring them back um not like that and picture wise that hasn’t happened a lot um but also it’s still a possibility for sure um but yeah the relief Market is still full of really good guys Jeff Hoffman’s still been one um that I’ve kind of had my eye on either as a high leverage guy or a starter because he has the same agent as Ronaldo Lopez so that’s interesting um yeah Jesse’s the only yeah uh and now Kyle right Kyle R fully with the the Kansas City Royals um yeah Jesse retired unless he says I’m not says I’m GNA unretire um uh yeah Jesse is the only pitcher that we really brought back you’re right um and I think he retired so um I’m a little surprised there’s not been more action on AJ Min but I’d like him back because you you have Aaron bummer and Dylan Lee uh but again the contracts have been pretty um significant for every single person signing contract so I think that’s also why Alex anthopolos has been really choosy so so it’s just kind of wait and see but I I’ll I’ll start panicking in like February if we haven’t made a somewhat significant move somewhere but like I said there’s still a lot of free agents still out there yeah we still have Pierce Johnson um so I think our Bullpen still going to be solid it’s just it looks a little different and we’re doing free agency in different ways and unfortunately this year we weren’t able to get ahead of the market and I think Alex anopolis likes to do that and this year I just uh the prices and and things have been insane so I think that’s why it’s been a little slower and the Chris Sale move came out of nowhere last year and happened on New Year’s Day I think so uh so there’s still a lot of time also Shan Mani is still out there too I didn’t realize that I I forgot to not that I’m saying that’s exactly what you want there but there’s still options um it’s just it’s like I said like I’ve said a lot this off season it’s a Changing of the Guard so to speak um and there’s still a lot of Cornerstone great pieces that we have um and Alex anopolis we don’t know what deals he’s offered um and they just chose to go somewhere else that’s why I don’t like the term let somebody walk we don’t know um the negotiation process we don’t know any of that um so I think that’s a little I just don’t like that term in free agency I never have um so we’ll see how it goes um for sure um but you know he’s he’s always working and always trying to make us better and that’s never changed and he hasn’t really had a bad deal deal um I mean maybe the Lucas lipy deal isn’t looking great but um so um I have no yeah a glaus is the lar closer yes um so we I mean like I said we still have a lot of quality pieces um and there’s still a lot of offseason to go but uh it’s all speculation it’s all hope um and I think AJ Smith Cher is going to be the one that takes the big step I don’t know what role he’ll play but I’m I think that he’s goingon to be the the Spencer swelling black of 20125 for the Braves that’s a prediction on December 17th and I will stick to that one as a as one of them for sure so um I think but I I will say I’m happy for the A’s making a couple moves um and doing what they’re doing um it’s nice to see even though that saverino contract I would never do but good for them good for him um and the Yankees are certainly winning the off season and I think they’ll they’ll have a better well-rounded team um than they did last year and probably a better Clubhouse if I had to guess so uh they’re doing they’re doing some things right and I think the Cubs are too uh I just don’t think Kyle Tucker is gonna sign back with them but I guess that depends on how this year goes but good for him good for Houston um getting a good package um and getting something for Quality as well um so I think a lot of things could be a win-win um from this off season so far I think a lot of them could be win-wins I think the max freed contract scares the beesus out of me for the Yankees um but Max is amazing so good for them good for him um and I I like a lot of things maybe Michel Garcia is a is an option for for the bra I think that’s Ronald’s cousin could be a shortstop utility option as well uh we’ve done a lot of deals with the Royals so that’s a another intriguing namish um um um but until alexopoulos does something absolutely terrible I know a lot of Team a lot of people want us to take take something that’s a little bit of a risk um and we really haven’t done that with Alex anthopoulos but like I said earlier he’s kind of been bit by the splashier moves so I don’t mind it and like I said it’s December 17th um so still a lot of time um just a lot of a lot of unknowns and a lot of negative negative fans and um yeah just trying to brush that off and uh just have just have faith and regardless of what our team looks like um I’m GNA watch him every every time I have forever um 2015 2017 was super rough but this stretch has been amazing and I have no reason to doubt any of it uh yes I hope after all these conversations today and and all that stuff then that means tomorrow we start uh we start blowing up the Internet with with some worthy stuff I hope um but we got a 100 days until MLB starts and I think it’s going to be it’s going to be fun it’s going to be intriguing um and um it’s that is definitely then not least is definitely going to be competitive um um for sure and um oh the only other thing was the Phillies are trying to get rid of Alec bow and they they tried to give they tried to trade with the A’s Mason Miller their closer for Alec B I was like what and then they tried to trade uh Nick cast Nick castios and I can’t remember the other piece for Kyle Tucker and they just keep getting hung up on and laughed in their face so um their off season hasn’t gone great either or for their standards yeah relli glaus is our closer I said that a while ago uh he um he’s definitely our closer um I wonder if we’ll do an extension with [Music] him CA he’s been so good and so durable um I think he’s a free agent after this year so that would be um very very important um and again we’ve done a nice job of finding diamond in the roughs type type guys and um Brian De La Cruz has a chance to do that um now you’re good uh so it’ll it’s just it’s G to look a lot different and either get on board or get uh get another team I guess because uh This is how we do things it’s pretty much how we’ve always done things since Alex anthopolos has has come around um so we’ll see if anything splashy happens but we definitely if anything starting pitching and at the very least I think Charlie Morton will be back um and then we’ll figure out the rest as it comes but we had so many down years because of injuries I think that’s another Factor as well that I’ve talked about all offseason I feel like I’m repeating myself a lot but that’s the reality of where the bre are so it’s it’s a difficult balance um balancing act that I I hope Charlie’s back to for one to for 10 to 12 million uh the highest that goes probably 15 um but he’s definitely a security blanket the Home Run ball bit him last year big time um so hopefully it doesn’t again but that’s just the mark of 41 and uh 41 years old and thank you um my hats I try to somewhat match the old outfit and do it that way but Charlie’s a security blanket so we’ll see how things roll um I think I don’t know if we’ll get a replacement but again Jeff Hoffman is has been one of my favorite names that have been out there so um we’ll see if we get a replacement for Joe Jimenez or we just kind of stick stick with a plan or or I don’t even know if anyone everybody knows the plan to be honest uh Nah if it’s 20 million again I’ll be like uh but Chuck is a security blanket so but you know what’s going to happen we F we’re gonna make a move that’s going to significantly impact our roster and you’re going to look on social media and everybody’s going to be like not that and I’m going be like seriously so so um that’s just the nature of the Beast that is social media and that is that is being a brace fan but I really can’t complain seven straight posies and appearances six inl East titles and a World Series Championship really can’t complain really can’t um would it be easier as a like if like for Content purposes if we were super busy all the time and Super Active yeah uh but that’s just not how the braid do things and we have the All-Star Game this year so that is super cool um so uh yeah I’m I’m really happy with where we sit and um and the reality of free agents if if they want to be a brave they would be a brave if and since they don’t and they’ve earned the contracts that they’ve gotten uh big time and I’m really happy for them I’m happy for their agents I’m happy for their family if you want to be a brave be a brave chipper was I mean it’s Austin is Matt is Mike is Strider is I mean it’s not that hard just it’s it’s a two-way street always and I know Alex anthopolos has has the best interest and turns over every Rock possible and I actually appreciate um yeah and I I think that’s what’s going to happen I really do because I don’t think you can like the only pitching contract that was good like the that was I mean I guess you could say gar Cole’s kind of paid off and the max Sher one with the Nationals that’s the one that’s really really paid off but the rest of them really haven’t a judges I guess is slightly o slightly okay but they haven’t won a championship yet Bryce Harper still put up amazing numbers but they haven’t won a championship yet Trey Turner is kind of mid right now based on his like so like I said taking a every contract you sign you take a risk but when they’re Mega contracts it’s a super risk and sometimes you’re in you’re in roster your roster is hampered where you can’t add in areas you really need to add and and I think it like I said earlier Alex andopolis tries to get ahead of the market typically usually at I think that’s why people are freaking out but the market kind of exploded before anybody was expecting it the I don’t think anybody was expecting it to explode the way it has and I don’t know how you I really don’t I mean even and yeah I did it’s you’re very proud of of the team and I agree um and throwing money at it I mean the Dodgers had to defer all their contracts to make it work and like I said there’s only one ball to go around um T Oscar Hernandez would be interesting he’s seeking a threeyear 24 to 22 to 24 but I think he strikes out a lot but I wouldn’t be mad at that but again I don’t know the the internal belief in Jared Kellick and he’s only making Max yep we would be um Max Max [Music] uh no I didn’t see your comment about Max um yeah I mean I don’t so it it’s really it’s really hard to judge any like massive contracts because they typically don’t work out but I mean if showon they win three or four championships I guess that one’s going to work out and be totally fine and yeah I mean people complain about Ronnie anyway so I’m really glad he’s not under a 300 plus million dollar contract because that would be even worse and it’s already um insane anyway um so I mean people have to do things in different ways um to make everything work and throwing money at a situation sometimes works but down the long run it may not and you’re looking like the Jacob deg Gro contract the Anthony randone contract complete disaster Mike Trout it’s trending towards that way and I mean it’s not their fault they’re not trying to be hurt uh even though I don’t the jury is out on Anthony renol but I mean put your put your organization um I don’t know what you said about Max I don’t know what your comment was um I don’t I don’t know what your comment was about Max um I missed it sorry um but I I for one am fine with replenishing the minor leagues the way we are um yeah I mean and that’s that’s good that’s good business for for for everyone involved I guess I mean yeah I mean I’m it’s hard to see maxico it’s hard to see favorites walk out the door but honestly for 218 million nothing thanks with all the injuries he’s had I guarantee you’ll have at least a couple blister issues and some different things um um I’m interested to I don’t know why Alex bregman bregman excuse me is connected to the Mets I don’t know where they would put them because Vientos I guess you put bregman at third Vientos at first but uh that one feels a little weird um yeah I don’t know how any of those long-term contracts are a positive a net positive unless you get some championships out of it but 825 yeah for sure that does help um and the Marlin still reach tooling or whatever they’re doing um and it’s it’s a it it’s a good thing in my mind that AA doesn’t kneejerk sign and kind of get out of his own way it has to work in minia area for him to do it um no probably not schwarber would make no sense and they wouldn’t trade within Division and we have uh we have Marcelo Zuna so so that wouldn’t make sense I don’t you I I don’t know I mean if it happens we’ll dive in that way but it just doesn’t make sense uh they traded Jake Burger to Texas [Music] um I don’t know that they’ve signed anyone that I can I don’t know they I know they their first I know they got the Dodgers first base coaches their manager there has I forgot Tanner Scott’s still out there as a free agent too so yeah the Marlins just seem to be Marlin again uh so I don’t really necessarily know uh what their plan is I don’t think they have one um not from I I I haven’t really seen too much every but they they never go full reset and just like tear it all down I don’t know no especially especially social the way social media now you really can’t believe it unless one person says it the Marlins never fully reset never fully have a plan never fully anything uh no but they also have won two championships in 97 and 03 and then completely don’t don’t try to continue to be good so they’re a weird one you’re certainly very very weird I don’t know um I think the AL East and the NL East are probably going to be the most interesting divisions I think D La Cruz D La Cruz is an awesome death piece um I think he could be maybe the larano signing where because he did have 21 homers and 66 RBIs but most importantly he has minor league options um so you could find lightning in a bottle there for sure so for sure yeah uh they have made no sense in a while so um um but neither of the Blue Jays nobody wants to take the blue jay’s money either I don’t really know their Direction um but it’s funny I don’t really know the braids Direction either but I think I think I have we have enough um years under our belt to realize that trusting the the process yeah they’ve tried uh they offered vlat 340 he turned it down so he’ll probably get about 500 um but it it just I don’t know they’ve been like runner up to a lot of free agents just like the Giants kind of so um but yeah the the J’s have definitely tried to make make positives and it just hasn’t necessarily worked out maybe it’s the Canada thing um yeah the Marlins just the Marlins are just what they are I think the the NL Central is probably the most intriguing because I think any of those teams could win it um I’m surprised the Reds haven’t tried to add more bats um cuz I think their rotation is solid but again it’s only um it’s only what it is it’s only December so there’s a lot of time left um and I’m sure we’ll pull off a a weird intriguing insane type of move that nobody’s talking nobody’s yet even has an ankling over and yeah you’re right um yeah it’s and I think even the Pirates have I like what they did to get Spencer horror WIS I I think they need more but I think that’s probably the most intriguing Division I mean the A’s could even make some noise this year um so I think there’s a lot more parity in baseball and I don’t think these massive contracts have helped the parody in baseball but it’s also you just gotta build your teams in in different ways and and make it work what’s best for you and understand and and understand how you how you how you do it and make sure it’s make sure it’s not something crazy that you’re going to look back on and feel buyer remorse and all these Mega contracts they could work but there’s more hesitation than there is yay so we’ll see how everything plays out but um like that’s the most speculation Laden um CMC chat I think I’ve ever done but um a hasn’t got given us a little too much to uh talk about yet um but like I gave you some names to look out for so if ad DOI scarcia comes or uh cumo Deval Jeff Hoffman [Music] uh Al Boston Yankees uh Baltimore I mean the entire AL East kind of um the angels have made some moves too um Houston I think is still going to be there and still going to do their thing um it just looks a little different um I mean the AL is kind of wide open it feels like but the Yankees are doing a nice job um well rounding their team for sure yeah I don’t know eight and a half million Travis no Travis Travis we weren’t going to pay 8 and a half million dollar for a backup catcher because that’s a lot that’s an interesting question um how if they knew these astronomical prices were going to happen or not I don’t know because like I said a lot of teams still haven’t made a lot of moves I mean Yankees Dodgers have made Moves the Mets uh but you teams like the Phillies um Diamond Backs they haven’t we haven’t the Blue Jays all that kind of stuff they haven’t really made significant moves either so I think it’s probably a little bit of both um being caught off guard and and Baltimore really hasn’t either uh yeah I mean as much as as valuable as Travis has been yeah we got a really good deal every single time we were able to get Travis and extend him for sure um so but also we declined his85 million do option so so yeah it’s good for Travis but we also made a decision as a team for to go in a different direction there Chadwick Trump or Drake Baldwin which is both they’re both fine um and I I’ve been a proponent of Drake Baldwin I just want to see what he can do and Murphy is going to catch 130 anyway probably so as long as he stays healthy so I think we’re fine there um honestly but yeah I mean I think like I said it’s not a complete picture there’s a lot of questions um a lot of speculation that I’m not used to doing but um is what it is and I can’t wait uh for bra baseball to be on my yeah it’d be nice for him too um but he feels like an elite all-around catcher uh for sure and um that’s a big time commodity now so I really hope that he’s he gets that chance in a brav uniform um for sure um and I’m he’s probably my him and AJ Smith Sher my two favorite prospects to think about coming into next year hey I said I said swelly extension a long time ago but I agree I completely agree so much so um I love schwell and I think I would be panicking a little more if we didn’t have the emergence suspensor swelling boach right so okay well regardless we both think that swell and block is going to get extended whatever it happens or whatever but I think well that’s okay Hudson at least we’ll be right um one of hey one of will be right that means it’s a good thing for the Braves um haris should probably win a gold glove but he’s got to deal with Bren doy um so I don’t know if he will or not because he’s amazing and in the Rocky center field so we’ll see um that’s fine I just hope it means good things for the Braves um but I mean again you’re having you’re going to have Ronald back and you’re going to have Spencer back too at some point this season so you just the the weighing of those those ideals and what it matters and all that stuff that’s true Doyle will not but I the Rockies are another one that I’ll never understand so yeah it was that catch was probably the play of the year so even though it was number four on the list I think it was a lot better um than that but I think uh I think that’s pretty much all I got yeah you only give them your money for the Braves so it’s all good I think that’s pretty much yeah they they’re not great and I honestly would love the Braves to get an actual person owner just but you know I like I said I can’t complain with the results right now and how it’s being run so um that’s just being a little picky um but and maybe feeling a little bit of fomo with not a lot of moves happening right now for the Braves but still in a really good spot um I think that’s all I have as always go Brave shamion rber hit that like button hit that subscribe button helps out a lot thanks guys uh nothing um we’ll still be on FanDuel um yeah for sure um AA and Liberty Media for the win uh nothing’s really going on with the TV right now I don’t know how any of that works I just know I’ll have the ability to watch them so that’s good and um they’re trying to work out with the blackouts but I don’t know how any of that works but uh and if it gets any
