Albies is next, then Folty. After that, I bet we'll see the Braves spend some serious cash.

This is a step in the right direction, helps heal the wounds of the tear down that was done unethically by the previous co-regime
Got to get Albies and Carmago in the fold & lets see how well Folty does in a few starts after the arm problems, maybe he is next
Still do not see them going for a big time FA for what it takes, but lock up the core and its stepping in the right direction
Next yr its Donaldson and O Day comming off the books & that is 31 mil combined so the money is there to lock the core up till the bad TV deal expired, then we will see if they will be serious spenders

Julio and Markakis combine as another chunk of cash.

And you all thought the Braves were cheap this does nothing to change views on being cheap! They signed Acuna to a very team friendly contract and thats great. It still does nothing to address that we need more than an extended Acuna.

Julio and Markakis combine as another chunk of cash. Not really. So Markakis would be only 2 mil after the buyout, Flowers adds another 4 mil, 2 mil from BMac, and Julio adds another 11 mil.That is 19 mil added to the mentioned 31 mil. Now even if Contreras becomes something legit or we sign a free agent catcher, we will still need a backup. Flowers has a 6 mil option that may be steep depending on his play this year. Julio has a 12 mil option, and Markakis has a 6 mil option. Let us hope we are not spending 24 mil of the 50 stated on Julio, Markakis, and Flowers...

Maybe the Braves will be a bigger spender with respect to the rest of the league when the TV deal expired, we have until 2027 for that and some of these young guys will still be playing and in their prime at that time
You would have Wright and Anderson being relatively young at that time, assuming they develop into what we hope they will be
Same for Ozzie and Acuna, and who is to say they cannot get the deal renegotiated a couple yrs ahead of time. You never know, but the TV deal purgatory will come to an end
And the debt service on the stadium and battery should be somewhat paid off, so there might be more money then - who knows who the owners will be in the mid to late 20's.
We could have a John Middleton type of guy who is a passionate Phillies fan and really throws heart and ego into the team -- there is alot to like around here if its run right
