Right now, this team looks formidable, though. AA did his job. The best thing about what AA was able to do was he gave up basically nothing to get these guys. Pretty amazing. falconsd56, ATL58 and TheTrue7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got Rosario who has not debut yet for a guy who also was hitting less than .100 since may....who was promptly released Soler was got for a kid who is at A ball if I am correct. I mean the only real asset given up was Wilson.....and he was flipped for one of the best relievers in the NL. Overall just a masterful job.

K26dp Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Vogt for a "prospect" who won't sniff AA. Pederson for a first baseman who can't play first base. AUTiger7222, Black Francis, falconsd56 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still haven’t been to Truist Park yet, maybe next year. It’s an awesome game experience man. The Braves got it right with the stadium move.

AUTiger7222 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I just realized the Braves scored 7 runs tonight without hitting a homerun. That's a great sign for this offense. Black Francis, ATL Fan in the DMV and blizzard_falcon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falconsd56 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 In all seriousness.....how can you you not be excited about the Braves? Yeah they are in third place and yeah they just got to over .500 but........ The bullpen has been solid for a month now and is going to get a boost with Ynoa and one of the starters joining it The offense is finally long and deep again with 2 more guys coming who will add something at catcher and on the bench /platoon situation. They gotta keep up what they are doing but they have played some good baseball for a while now....they just gotta keep up the consistency.

Unknøwn Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Soto is unsure if he's sticking around. He told DC media he'll take it "year by year" as far as a long term deal goes. He's going to see how this rebuild goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be insane. I'm pretty certain he'll hit the market. His agent and Scott Boras and we know Boras never likes his guys to sign without hearing from other teams. Nats have until 2025 to show him they can compete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
For the A Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 Say they show they can compete. Will they be willing to pay him is the question. I see him getting traded the winter before his final year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see him getting traded the winter before his final year. Theyll try but they won't go all in. Like with Harper. The Nats made competitive offers but wouldn't beat any offer that came through just to keep him. They offered Harper $300M with $100M deferred. It was 10 years at $20M and then he would get $10M a year over the following 10 years to make it $300M. Harper went with the all upfront money in Philly plus an extra $30M. Recent Nats philosophy has been invest in pitching, see Strasburg's $245M and letting Rendon walk. That hasn't worked at all though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the control on all of those guys we just picked up recently? I know we're still in 2021, but 2022 is sounding even better if our guys all heal up plus what we've picked up.

I think Duval and Pederson have options but Soler and Rosario are FA's I think Solar would have fit perfectly in the DH role if the NL expands to the universal DH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soler is a FA after the season, Rodriguez is here through 2024, Joc and Duvall both have a mutual option for 2022 so both sides will have to trigger the option for them to stay.
