Braves traded six guys for Murphy including one (Contreras) who plays the same position and out hit him last year by every metric.
And all the pundits say the Braves “won” the deal.
I guess I don’t appreciate the value of defense at the catcher position because its seems like a gross overpay.

Angels shortstop situation or Irish Quarterback situation…. Which gave ACamp night terrors more this year???

Answer: Yes

I don’t get it either as a Braves fan. We were ok at catcher but we need some more pitching and a short stop.

Why Are Teams Issuing Extremely Long Contracts?

Superstars are signing long-term deals like never before. What’s causing teams and players across the league to agree to deals that last far into the next decade?

I don’t know how much better his D is supposed to be than Contreras. I saw where he had the fastest pop time in MLB last season but it’s by tenths of seconds so surely that wasn’t the only metric that enticed the Braves.

Good lord,… it’s been enough short stop and starting pitching misses for the halos to fill out a roster

This is exactly why Jerry didn’t want him as an owner. He’s going to spend and force other owners to actually open their ungodly full wallets

Precisely.

Cohen will be the excuse teams give now for NOT spending.

 

[ACamp1900]

This is insane lol

This is insane lol

Wait until some 85 win team from the NL Central knocks them out of October in a short series, though.

I think the ”health concern” was cold feet

 

[IRISHDODGER]

So where does that leave Lindor? Correa or him gonna move to 3B? McNeil is their 2B.

Correa goes to third.

Cohen is not going to make any friends among his fellow owners. If the collusion onion starts getting peeled back, look out.
