I've got no problem with Swanson not signing with the Braves but, I thought they would make a move for someone else and not settle for Grissom. At this moment, the off season has been a bust for the Braves.

2023 Braves trades and acquisitions

Braves in a 3 team trade. We are getting Sean Murphy from the A's and giving Contreras to the Brewers. No idea what the A's are getting.
Penny pinching A's probably got nothing.
One report I saw said they are getting Manny Pina.
Edit: Actually just saw this:

I liked Contreras as a backup catcher. Braves now have 2 starting catchers and can't trade either without picking up a weaker backup.
Not a position of need by a long shot

My god we are throwing up all over ourselves in the off season.
We aren’t getting ANY needs met for a SS or Ace Pitcher and now we downgrade at C and DH
WTH is AA doing?
There is a rumor out there that we might trade d'Arnaud before the trade deadline next year. I heard this driving home.
I'm still ticked about this trade this morning because 1) Wild Bill was one of my favorite young players and 2) this move was completely unnecessary
Murphy IS the better Catcher defensively because he's an everyday starter and has won a Gold Glove but we didn't NEED an everyday catcher because we have Travis for that.
Wild Bill IS the better Hitter though and is almost an everyday bat between DH and Catcher and he's 3 years younger.
Murphy's Career numbers - .236 BA .759 OPS
Wild Bill - .260 BA .809 OPS
.50 Higher in On Base + Slugging is a pretty big difference at the plate
I just can't believe we did this....
The Brewers just pulled off a heist.

Murphys numbers will be higher in Atlanta, but how much higher? And the Braves now need another DH.
Yep... and .800 + OPS from a player younger than 24 isn’t cheap to replace.
I mean if they trade Travis then maybe this works out but I just don’t get it right now.
I think the Braves are trying to play the long game and play to the deadline to get someone cheap. I think in a crazy way that it may work. However Turner to Philadelphia is a HUGE concern. I think if we were moving on from Swanson then we needed to make it incredibly hard for anyone in the East to secure Turner.
Murphy vs Contreas.... I dont know. Murphy gives us a much needed pickoff catcher and allows us to put Darnaud into the DH. But you have to question if this is an all in move because William was looking like a Brave great in the making.

I know some (most?) of y’all like this but I do not.
Glad they didn't pay him that much, but now need a SS and a DHSources: Cubs, SS Swanson reach $177M deal

Swanson deal: seven years and $177 million and includes a full no-trade clause. Braves had no chance
That’s a loss for sure but we weren’t going to pay 25+ per year. That is a boatload for him. I hope we have some other moves in the works.
I am glad he did not go to the dodgers, mets, or yankees.Sources: Cubs, SS Swanson reach $177M deal

on Swanson's deal.Between Gomes at C, Nico/Swanson at 2b/ss and Bellinger in CF, that defense will be something else. As for offense...Cubs still have not figure that part out.
Braves sign OF Jordan Luplow to a 1 Year $1.4 million contract to "solve" our Rosario/Ozuna platoon problem and I guess replace Duvy?
I'm thoroughly whelmed by this years off-season moves....
