"The New York Mets essentially have had the offseason I was hopeful the Braves would have following a few failed seasons. They shook up their core and replaced them with players they felt were a better fit and they also added a bonafide playoff starting pitcher The Atlanta Braves are doubling down and banking on their core to be healthy and to bounce back. They focused on depth and flexibility which is already being put to the test before the first day of ST and they still need to add a much needed SP. It is going to be interesting to watch both methods play out. I am assuming this will be the"

"Tyler Kinley said on the radio today he was surprised his option was declined because he had been told the Braves loved him and wanted him back and they were going to pick up the option Howeverhe was told HSK opting out changed things and the team told him they couldnt commit to his salary at the time Which tells me a few things- [--]. AA expected HSK to accept the option [--]. He was willing to spend more on SS even if it meant he spent less on BP (he may now wish he did with hindsight) [--].

"HSK is a career utility player based on positional usage- that doesnt mean he doesnt play a lot. He is listed as an infielder. He signed with Atlanta because his other offers were non SS offers. Dubon has 3-130+ game seasons.still a utility player. Career games by position since 2022- SS-184 Other-143 The depth I am referring to is the depth they added to allow a rotating DH in lieu of a big or impact bat to give guys days off their feet which they no longer can or will be doing unless Jorge Mateo and his .480 ops are starting games and if so that isnt good depth."
