I think there is real optimism with Will Smith and Martin at the backend, but we may need Greene for the 7th.
2021 Braves trades and acquisitions
- Thread starter 81usaf92
- Start date
I think we may get Melancon or Greene, but probably not both. Alex didn't indicate if that were true or not

Hearing some rumors that the Braves are interested in Adam Wainwright.

He is about 40 years old. Can he still pitch for an entire season and be healthy for the playoffs? He had a good season this year, but that was only like 10 games started.
How about we NOT sign an old guy pitcher and overpay? This seems like same tune different verse over last 10 years. Pay Ozuna, trade some minor league talent (that may not be as good as supposed reputation) and then go after a few quality pitchers without overpaying. OR go after a superstar and pay them. But this year after year trying to be in the middle is not good enough IMHO. No more Cole Hamels.
I agree. I got the alert on my phone immediately groaned and posted it. I have become convinced the Braves front office just doesn't want to win a World Series.
Sounds about right. They always get these guys who USED TO BE big names. My God, they went and got both 1989 Cy winner Mark Davis AND former Angels closer Bryan Harvey as closers.....once they weren't worth a damn anymore.
It's like they sign the guy this year that they should have signed 2 years ago.
I've been a professional sports fan since 1977.
Falcons - no titles
Hawks - no titles
Texas Rangers - one strike away twice, no titles
Calgary Flames hockey - one title back when you couldn't see most of the games
Dallas Stars hockey - no titles since I became a fan years ago here
Braves - one World Series in a strike shortened season
I've been through more personal suffering than those 86-year wait Red Sox fans endured.

Remind me never to pull for any professional sports teams of which you are a fan. Obviously you are the problem....LOL!
I honestly expect the Braves to announce they've signed Mariano Rivera as a closer. I would not even flinch.
And that they're paying him $60 million per year guaranteed.
There's a sense in which the Braves are the Donald Trump of sports organizations.
If it makes no sense, they'll do it.
That took a bit of a hiatus when Cox and Schuerholz were running things, but it's pretty much been the Braves front office almost non-stop (save for that) since 1966.

Only Alabama is powerful enough to overcome the curse.

that is so true.
And I'm a Duke b-ball fan going back before they were ever contenders.
My brother says, "Your pro teams are awful, but your college teams are fantastic."
Well I called it. Alex signs an old guy for 11 million. Granted Smyly actually had a decent year but it’s more of a sign of the same unless AA has good info on Soroka’s return
No way he deserves $11MM. If he stays in the bullpen he might make it through the season uninjured, but that is starter's pay so he won't be around past the all-star break and he will have an ERA north of 4.5.
Braves management is a disaster.
