Atlanta Braves

I truely believe the Braves are a few pieces away from a dynasty. But, it all starts with this upcoming years free agency and how much we are willing to spend. I firmly believe when need to do everything in our power to sign Macahdo and Kimbrel. Once we have them two, we can trade Dansby, Gohara, and another prospect maybe Bryce Wilson for JT Realmuto. Then we go out and trade kolby allard, Kevin gasuman, and Austin Riley( only if Comagro keeps playing like he is now) for a top of the line Ace, such as Bumgarner, DeGrom, Synegard, Michael Fulmer, or anyone else who is a legit Ace. With a pitching staff of
Bumgarner
Folty
Newcomb
Soroka
Touki or Wright
Plus a lineup of
Acuna
Ozzie
Freeman
Machado
Realmuto
Comagro
Markakis
Pitcher
Ender

We would be unstoppable, for many, many years to come. We have the pieces to make these moves, however it's all going to come down to free agency

    Now, all you have to do is hope some GM's are willing to make those trades. Good luck.

    I don't think the braves would have the money to sign Machado and Kimbrel as FAs. Another factor is looking ahead several yrs when they'll have to re-sign Acuna, Albies and several of the young pitchers. You don't want overcommit yourself on FAs only to then not be able to afford the talent you've grown and developed in-house. I could see one FA splash in the off-season but it won't be a spending spree.

    I think you’ll definitely see the Braves target an ace this offseason and I like your post, but Michael Fulmer should not be considered a top of the line ace.

    I agree that he may not be right this second, I just believe he has loads of potential and talent. And he is also controllable for a long time

    I like your optimism, but I don't see anyone making those trades. Where you from 912?

    He does have potential, but he’s also regressed every year since coming into the league and has had an injury riddled season He’s also always outperformed his peripherals. I would consider his ceiling to be a good #2 on a playoff team. The Braves already have plenty of high upside, controllable starters who look like 2-3 starters. We need an ACE.

    Liberty won't pony up for either Bumgarner or Machado.
    The only possible exception is if they are ready to sell and want to entice potential buyers.

    Teams that decide they are ready to start rebuilding, like the mets and giants need to do

    The Tigers traded Verlander last season.
    Very few younger aces will ever move, but a 30 something year old ace on a bad team can sometimes get moved.

    Woah someone who knows what he is talking about in a Braves thread, I am so happy. 100% agree on Fulmer

    Who is this ''he'' you're referring to ?

    It's not a troll, it's advice. I'm not going to review threads to see what a poster is referring to. Just advance enough info for people to know what the hell you're referring to, how hard could it be ? It's like posters who abbreviate names, how lazy can you be ?

    You’ve been a member since January and have over 3k posts. It seems to me that you have plenty of time to review every thread.
