Jesus Christ the Braves hate is real!! This is why I keep saying that it's far from a lock Freddie is gonna get the MVP. So true. Wouldn’t be surprised to hear disappointing news today.

Unknøwn Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Mets and Yankees have had discussions with Yadier Molina. Believed to be 2 or 3 others involved as well. Molina seeks 2 years. Tigers have been talking with Taijuan Walker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epic Hot Takes Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Waiting on the MVP results is like watching Trumps leads in battleground states shrink and expecting the inevitable. Freddie appears to be the winner but you see the California bias leaning toward Betts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the Braves will protect those guys. Both guys are very highly regarded pitchers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly would be surprised if they protected Thomas Burrows. He was eligible for the draft last year and he went unprotected and unclaimed. In an offseason where veteran relievers will probably be able to be picked up for scraps, I'm not sure why anyone would even pay the $100K draft fee for a minor league reliever.

As compensation, he should trade Dylan Bundy to the Braves for Ender Inciarte. CrimsonFalcon and ATLBrave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the deal with him? I remember you talking him up and I watched him closely in spring training last year and he was highly impressive. Think 2021 is the chance he's given a shot to win a MLB bullpen spot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K26dp Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I hope so, but it's a crowded bullpen. The Braves have always seemed lower on him than public consensus though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknøwn Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Marlins hire Kim Ng as GM. She's the first female GM of any pro men's sport. Ng has been in MLB for 30 years as a member of the White Sox, Dodgers and Yankees FO's. She does have 3 World Series rings from her time as a Yankee. She went to work for Manfred back in 2011. She's interviewed for multiple GM jobs over the years. She now gets to guide the Marlins. ATLBham, Drew4719, K26dp and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope she does terrible. Not because she is the first female GM. Because she is a Marlin. My hatred for them has grown quite a bit the past few years.

K26dp Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 With a fairly weak incoming class, this year may represent Andruw Jones and Billy Wagner's best chance to get voted in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
