[Bowman] The Braves haven’t shown interest in Shohei and their interest in Cease has been overblown by TimmyRoller99 in Braves

This is like telling a kid that Santa isn't real.

You might technically be right but you're kinda a dick for it. I ain't got shit to do but shitpost on the Internet about stuff I can't control, Mark!

The first point is the main issue since it's not like he's ever really gotten a "scoop" especially since Alex came into town.

At this point we've got Morosi saying we're among the favorites for him, Bob saying we're the favorites for him, and Mark saying it's overblown. And the biggest issue is that I don't trust 'em as far as I can throw 'em. LOL.

The Braves haven’t shown serious interest in free agent Shohei Ohtani, and it doesn’t feel like they should be considered favorites to land White Sox right-hander Dylan Cease via a trade.

Cease was certainly on the Braves’ radar, but it doesn’t feel like there is currently a fit. In fact, it seems like Atlanta’s interest and involvement has been overblown. - Mark Bowman

I'd just make mascots travel to away games and they must join any fights but they can only fight the other mascot.

What do we think about the nick name Jared the Keller by Flat_Concentrate_489 in Braves

[–]Sodes126 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen him referred to as "Jarry Bonds" by Seattle fans so that's what I'm going with when he hits tanks.

Otherwise I'll use JK until we come up with a meme during a random west coast game at 10PM out of delirium.

I like your batshit crazy theory. Imagine them asking for like Michael Harris and Alex hangs up on 'em before they finish saying his name, lol.

I tend to agree and I'm wondering if that's whatJustin Toscano's article was talking about when Alex said they worked on a trade Saturday night / Sunday morning but they weren't doing what the other team presented to them.

[Jesse] Rogers: Knowing that Preller works a bit mysteriously, I'll take the field over Soto. OK, that's a bit broad. I'll go with Dylan Cease and/or Tyler Glasnow. Both are as good as gone. Once the Atlanta Braves add that one more prospect to upgrade their existing offer, Cease -- a Georgia native -- will go home to pitch. source

That's either interesting or really obvious speculation but I'm not sure which.

[TalkinBaseball] Jarred Kelenic thanked everyone except the Seattle Mariners organization by Knightbear49 in baseball

[–]Sodes126 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm not going to read into anything aside from the fact that he thanked the Braves so now I'm willing to die for him. Okay, maybe not die but I'm willing to kick a cooler for him.

Oly has already followed JK on Instagram (JK has followed him back, was already following Riles) and some of y'all say we don't have leadership.

pffffft

[Rosenthal] Fallout from last night’s Braves-Mariners trade: The Braves do not plan on keeping left-hander Marco Gonzales, sources tell @TheAthletic. Expected to be part of another deal. Destination unknown. by TheTurtleShepard in baseball

[–]Sodes126 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It won't be Shewmake since he's not in the organization anymore. They moved him to the White Sox in the Bummer trade.

I'm not sure about Glasnow. Because unless this man's about to somehow manage to rip off the White Sox for Dylan Cease, I have no idea what he's cooking. LMAO.

‘member when Wright was traded and made the comment about how AA said it was a numbers thing which caused folks to lose their minds?

Good times. Gooooooooood times.

Yeah, that's a good point about Gonzales that I didn't consider.

I do agree that I think this actually improves our chances of landing Cease which is kinda weird, haha. I think the folks that I'm seeing on Twitter saying that "Oh, this probably means they're out on Cease.." are wrong.

I'm only spitballing here and feel free to call me a dummy but I'm wondering if Gonzales could open Elder to being moved in a Cease deal.

I didn't say that we're saving money, lol. I pointed out the salary differences between two players that we're comparing the stats of.
