Moving on...
Wish list gents.
If Bauer is serious about a one year deal then AA better not lose the bidding. If the DH remains then Nelson Cruz. He will require a 1 year deal while Ozuna will be getting paid big money long term. Appreciate his career year but he will regress, plays no defense, and doesn’t know how to run the bases apparently. Kirby Yates and Ken Giles. Both working their way back from injury and likely to take 1 year deals. If Melancon signs a cheap 1 year I’m ok with that as well. Duvall starts in left until Waters is ready and then becomes depth. Trade Ender to anyone for anything just to remove the 8 mil from the payroll. Pache in center, sign him to a team friendly deal. Flowers walks and Contreras replaces him. Do not sign Swanson. Play out his arbitration especially with next years SS class.
This is all assuming payroll doesn’t have to take a dive...

Good luck trading Ender. He does need to be replaced. Might have to eat some of the final yr of that deal at some point
And I have had enough of Riley, he cannot do the job he needs to be replaced. Enough inconsistency is enough
Nick should be replaced at this time.
And another issue is extending Freddie Freeman, that is 50/50 cause who knows what their business plan is now. We do not know if there will be fans in the stands in 2021
I would not be against keeping Swanson for a reasonable deal
Almost does not matter, we all know no matter who wears this uniform the post season result is going to be the same
Crazy as it sounds I would not call Acuna untouchable after this LCS

First of all, you're not gonna be "removing" Ender's salary from the payroll. You're gonna be paying it. Best case there is he hooks up with some team at minimum salary, which leaves you on the hook for about $7.5. He has no value...negative value, actually. Bauer isn't gonna be signing a one year deal, IMO. The Cruz idea ain't bad, assuming he'd come here......but at some point his production is gonna drop dramatically. Somebody's gonna wind up with a bad deal with him at some point. I say sign Swanson. He's become a valuable player. Not much on signing relievers to big money deals, but something does need to be done there.........or I might just stop following the Braves altogether. LMAO

One thing about the pen is that for better or worse the Braves are stuck with that disgraceful BUM Will Smith for two more yrs at big money
They better hope he will be the pitcher he used to be - he stunk bad this yr Mr Home run ball he sure was
As for Nelson Cruz for one yr, hey for a one yr deal its something to think about. I doubt they pay Ozuna the big money - they will want a one yr contract for the DH position
How about trying to bring back King Felix on a similar one yr prove it deal? No Cole Hamels reunion. He should be done what a BUM.
Correct me if I am wrong but Ender's deal expires at the end of 2021 right? Cannot be soon enough for sure LM will have to eat some of that $$$$$.
If you do not keep Swanson and extend him who do you have to play short? The big studs are not going to sign for what the Braves will pay, this is a business first organization, and dream on about Trevor Bauer or the big time shortstop studs out there .

Cannot put any emotion into it anymore, I really enjoy the games where I do not have any vested interest or heart in either team. Worn out by the disappointment though I do wish the Braves and Falcons well. Sure I want to see them win but they have disappointed me too many times. Will enjoy the game for what it is

There has GOT to be a PERFECT baseball team out there somewhere that he can root for.

The big studs are not going to sign for what the Braves will pay, this is a business first organization, and dream on about Trevor Bauer or the big time shortstop studs out there . Shewmake would likely get his shot if Swanson walked after next year. I don’t see him walking though. He plays a heavily saturated position with at least 4 premium options in front of him in FA. I doubt he commands an above market deal and would resign at that point. Gives him some motivation going into next year and keeps us fluid in case he takes a step back or gets injured. I really doubt Felix was going to contribute much regardless. I’d go Odorizzi on a bounce back 1 year deal. Cruz could finally cut out the steroids and fall flat. For a 1 year deal it’s not much of a risk and Duvall would also be available to DH once Waters is up assuming Acuna and Pache are healthy. Duvall should be pretty motivated himself to finally get a payday after 2021.

I like your ideas about SS but I expect us to sign Dansby to a deal, at least 5 years, I wouldn't be surprised if they do it this offseason. Despite better options, we all know Dansby is their guy.

I don't believe it's accurate that teams actually LOST money this year, I believe it had been reported before we started this 60 game season they were just going to make a lot less money than they would in a normal season.
But anyway, for what it's worth:

Question.....what's the end game with COVID? They're talking about not knowing whether there will be fans next year. Seriously? I mean, WTF, are we just going to cede our way of life to this insanity? It's absurd, and the whole damn thing has been way out of hand for a long time. The left has fantasized about this kind of control forever, and they're not gonna give it up without a fight. If I were the owners, I'd have fans come hell or high water next season. This has to end, and we have to stop obsessing over a few positive tests. It's ridiculous. IMO
