On a more serious note, I read an article of the Braves performing the ultimate coup in signing two of three of the following in light of their increased payroll spending for next year...
Either deGrom. And/orTrea Turner. And/or Mets closer Diaz.
That would make me very, very, very happy...

Based on reputation? What rep did Ozuna ever establish for him to win it? Ever,...?
That is such a disconnect... By that standard Ozuna should be up for "model citizen of the year" award.

Markakis had the range and arm of a 70 year old man during his tenure with us…..as our cleanup hitter! 🤮
But won a gold glove. He won that because he never made errors. Never mind that he couldn’t get to anything and had a rag arm by then.
Then he pretty much ended his career out of fear of Covid, lol…..
Ozuna had a real good arm before he tore up his shoulder but he was never fleet of foot and could never run routes.

I pay zero attention to the GG awards. I've seen too many joke winners.

Honestly it sounds like a writer just throwing something out there he thinks we should do, but it's not based on anything concrete. |

Gotta figure deGrom at least $48m/year. Turner gets $33m and Diaz prolly $21m... Just have to raise the prices in the Battery and that should cover it.  |

You can't count on deGrom, Diaz will probably never come close to this season again, and we can sign Dansby for a lot less than Turner (plus we have Morton and Jansen LMAO). Attendance will probably drop, too, so raising prices will cause that to drop even more.

David O'Brien @dobrienatl
2h
BTW, per our discussion regarding Gold Glove qualification. This line: "All infielders and outfielders must have played in the field for at least 698 total innings through his team’s 138th game..."
#Braves' Michael Harris II had already played about 800 innings at that point.

Attendance will probably drop, too, so raising prices will cause that to drop even more. Wait a minute... are saying that Braves fans are frontrunning "milquetoast" fans? And Diaz at half of what he was is better than Kenley. And while Dansby is a solid player, Turner is at another level and is a true difference maker. What makes you think Dansby wont return to .255 with 18/65? Also Swanson has 7 seasons with 14.5 war... Turner, 8 seasons with 29.7war... |

Atlanta fans have always been fickle, but price hikes mean lower demand regardless. Not defending Jansen, just saying Diaz isn't likely to repeat this year. BTW, just as an offhand stat, did you know that Jansen actually has a lower career WHIP than Diaz? Turner is better than Swanson, but he's 30 next year and probably has 4 or 5 good years left at most until he's just average or slightly above. You wanna pay $300 for that? We can likely keep Dansby for half that or less and he's the heart and soul of our team. Besides, what did Turner, deGrom, and Diaz win for their teams this year? NADA |

if Dansby walks to the Dodgers, we need to get Trea. At least he be closer to home.
Also would rather have deGrom than Diaz.
Bring back Duvall is priority as well.
I'm doubt Joc comes back.

This milquetoast fans bullshit is so demonstrably false that I'm pretty sure it's being done just to troll and antagonize people.
