Color me still skeptical.
The Braves just talk and talk and don’t spend !! You
Don’t win in the era championship with prospect and average player or player that have been assigned ! This all what the Braves do!! Sick and tired of them !
If that's true they would have re signed Fried and not have a 22million per year per player limit
Your channel us becoming unwatchable. You repeat the same information over and over again. Example: we know that they said they were going to pick up Travis's option and then they didn't. Have heard you say it at least 7 or 8 times.
Braves could potentially have several options for the bullpen with Daybel Hernandez, along with Angel Perdomo, Connor Gillispie, Enoli Paredes, Domingo Gonzalez, Rolddy Munoz. Grant Holmes will likely fill a role in the bullpen if he's only filling the rotation till Strider comes back if Strider doesn't start opening day. Would they think about adding Ian Anderson to the bullpen if they sign/trade for another starter, that could be a possible thought?
