The controversy in Georgia continues on Election Night as Jurickson Profar adds another 2 hits down in Venezuela tonight. What will they do with Profar?
What if we treated All-Star voting like we do political elections
Instead of Talarico vs Paxton we’re on the edge of our seats watching votes come in for Wetherholt vs. Turang to win NL 2B
I hate to be the party pooper, but the largest Free Agent deal given out by the Braves franchise was $75M over 5 years to BJ Upton in 2013
It's never been their business model to make big FA splashes, and I have no reason to believe that'll change soon
Polls closing on election night?
Sorry, they’ve got a random 2001 Braves regular season game on MLB Network. I know how I’m spending my evening.
Could you say they’re deferring the salary (cap)?
The fraction of this fanbase that is adamant about trading Ronald Acuña Jr. is extremely fascinating to me
Sure, they'd be silly not to at least explore options, but some of these people are begging for him to be gone regardless of the return
This has to be something the Braves entertain
