2024 Braves Trades and Acquisitions

[DzynKingRTR]

I don't care about the lost money. He had no place on the roster and could never be traded.

true, but that is 4 million they now cannot spend on a pitcher.

Technically they spent it on acquiring Kerr, who ATL apparently loves.

I hate the dodgers so much.

So if I am following correctly we just traded our best prospect for a pitcher that is hurt a lot.
Seriously Alex?

I can't believe this one.

I just heard we got Sale and assumed it was a free agent signing.

When Sale is not hurt, he's one of the best pitchers I've ever seen. The guy went 29-12 with Fenway as his home field and won a World Series, but he's old for any baseball player (esp a pitcher) and his arm is long gone.

This is not good.

Yeah, I saw the news and like you assumed FA. Then I saw we traded for him and said words not appropriate for Tidefans.

It is a sink or swim move. If he can stay healthy he will be solid and eat up a lot of innings. If he can’t it is a bust. We needed another starter though.

Grissom didn’t really have a spot in our current lineup anyway.

Chris Sale is being held together on a wing and a prayer. ATL probably could have had him for a non-prospect. To give up Vaughn Grissom (regardless if he had position on ATL or not), imo, is a bad overpayment for a gamble. A more worthwhile gamble would have been on Shane Bieber. I know Bieber is not the same pitcher he once was but I believe he's a better gamble than Sale.

Yeah, I don't have a problem with adding him to the roster, but not at this price.

Braves have extended Sale's contract. 2 years 38 million.

Newly acquired Sale signs 2-year deal with Braves

I hope it works out, but it is a total crap shoot.

Anthopoulos signs extension with Atlanta through 2031

ATLANTA -- President of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos has secured many of the Braves’ top players throughout most of this decade. So it only made sense for the club to extend him the same kind of security. Anthopoulos’ long-term future in Atlanta was solidified on Friday, when the Braves...

Minor league deal for now.

 

[TexasBama]

The Astros went all-in to shore up the bullpen in getting Hader. Now they'll have Hader, Pressley, and Abreu to lean on.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

didn't feel like starting a new thread, but Andruw Jones snubbed by the Hall of Fame again. If he had played for the Dodgers or Yankees, he would have been a 1st ballot guy.
