What about Ken Giles? Do we have any control over him? Do we give this former closer a chance?
Pivetta/Eovalid/HSK seems like the Braves path to a successful offseason so I agree with this. There's another HSK (Hae-Seong Kim) who is 25(I think?) and may be posted. He is exactly like the current HSK but younger. Braves have no legs in the Asian market so probably a pipe dream.
Trade Candidates: Taylor Ward, Leody Tavaras, Bryan De La Cruz, Jesus Sanchez, one of the Reds OF's (Steer/Friedl/Benson/Fairchild/Wiemer)
IF: Rengifo, Nicky Lopez, Ramon Urias, Jorge Mateo, Geraldo Perdomo.
These all help the Braves get younger, faster, and with position flexibility. They are all on 1 year deals in 2025 (most are in arbitration except for I think Ward?). They are all on teams where the team is likely to sell or have logjams at the players primary positions. Excited to hear who you think the Braves go after.
the Braves need to spend as the Mets and Dodgers do
Maena/Kikuchi, Eovaldi, Minter, Sewald, Kim, Profar
I don't understand. Max makes the most sense But AA will pull off something out of" left field" no pun intended
