Zero chance Atlanta is on Vlad Jr next season. ZERO! They barely pay their own let alone a free agent. No chance Atlanta gives Vlad $450+ Million. On top of that it would be for a DH because Olson is one of the best defensive 1st basemen in the game. As a Braves fan I welcome it but I don’t see it. Absolutely love your show!
@@jeremyhopwood5822this offseason has been so disappointing. I feel like the team is regressing so bad and they are just letting every logic option we need walk without being competitors on any trade
@@stormchaserjoe2842 both those statements are true but I can assure you that Atlanta will not be in on Vlad next season. AA isn’t going to spend $400+ million for anyone let alone a DH. That’s not how he operates. He NEVER targets top tier free agents but if on the off chance he was to do next year it would be for Kyle Tucker not VGJ. Only way it happens is if Vlad has a horrific season and his price plummets.
Having Vladdy sign w/ the Braves would be awesome With Olson locked up through 2030, that means Ozuna is gone and Vladdy would be their long term DH but When it comes to this team, the main question is always How much are they willing to pay? No Braves player has an AAV above $22M and the largest contract is Austin Riley's 10yr $212M
The Padres are not tranquil 😅. If he goes to a small market, he will be required to carry a bigger load for the team. So idk. I think LA is still the favorite landing spot.
Don’t know the return but how about a trade involving the Yankees and Braves… Yanks trade Stroman and some of the contract and Oswald Peraza to Atlanta… not sure the return but it would be a cheap option
I don’t understand how anyone can still think roki is even considering sd. If you know anything about Japanese culture and what they value you’ll it’s the exact opposite with what’s going on with the Seidler’s.
Mountcastle doesnt move the needle. If it doesnt start with mayo i think seattle keeps castillo. They will hope for bouncebacks and ride that rotation if they dont get the value they want for castillo. How bad do other teams want castillo is the question
Yeah not worth giving him away. If it doesn’t improve the roster significantly then there’s zero reason to trade him. I don’t care if you have to package him with a prospect like Ford to acquire Coby Mayo then just do it so we are set at 3B for several years.
You say the M's have misjudged the market, which may be true, but there is no need to trade him if they don't get a return that actually makes them better as a team. The drop from Castillo to Hancock is too significant to just take a Mountcastle or Kerstad or even Casas. If other teams would rather spend outrageous amounts of money on pitching instead of getting one at a fair market value, let them. There is no sense in being desperate and trading him for less than his actual value and making the team worse in the process.
Agreed 100% Coby Mayo has got to be the target, I don’t care if the Ms have to include a prospect to get this deal done. They need to do it and make it happen period!
I’m really sad for Pete because there is zero market for the botch job of a free agency period that Boras is spinning. If someone offers Pete 5 years, the Mets will extend the hand and wish him well in his new home.
Not only is Boras nuts, he's hurting the game. These absurdly long contracts that are being pushed hamstring organizations futures. It used to be that with declining performance came declining dollar value, paying a guy at his age 36+ the same as his age 29 value makes less then zero sense.
@ lol third base Paredes’s played a lot of games at third and first base but he played games at outfield put him at left field essentially like how we had yordan and when we call up cam put him in the outfield once walkers contract up move bregman to first base cam to third base shit ain’t hard
@@theoperry3236 Not going to happen. Paredes while not as good defensively is better at the plate. Plus they don't want to hit the 2nd level. Paredes isn't an OFer either.
Castillo doesn't go to the O's for anything less than Mayo. Mountcastle is not worth it. They want Major League improvement, not to just sell. Castillo is way way way better and more valuable to Seattle than Mountcastle. Mariners get: Mayo/Weathers/Sanchez/Faucher Marlins get: Haniger/Montes/Celesten/Locklear/Pham Orioles get: Castillo/Thornton
You’re joking right? Castillo has been a consistent above average pitcher or better for 7 years, Boyd has been good for 1 1/2 seasons, and has a long history of being injured and being pretty average before this comeback. I know I’m a Tigers fan. As for Servino, now that is a long history of injuries. So yes, there are some slight differences between Castillo and these guys.
He’s a better pitcher than the guys you mentioned period. Also his contract is going to look like a bargain with the projection of pitcher salaries upcoming seasons.
Vladdy will not accept 475M from jays at this point. The front office has messed this up. Vladdy doesn't see this team as a championship team and he doesn't like the front office. Why would he sign to waste away the prime of his career. Even if jays offer him the money he wants at this point he still turns it down imo. The team is no where close to competing
There's really nothing that can be done with Vlad besides trade him before you lose all value. He has no good reason to stay, all his buddies play elsewhere, the team is in no way competing and whatever the Jays do offer will be matched or exceeded by others next year.
The Blue Jays confuse me. They are all in on Soto but are being stingy with Vladdy. Pretend he’s Soto and pay him! Ken Rosenthal defended the Braves lack of moves by saying they’d like to the OF but don’t have to. He said the Braves have a top 3 roster right now.
As a Braves can we need a lot and have virtually done nothing to fix what we needed then created more gaps by not paying what we did have. We need a 4th arm in the starting rotation. We need our bullpen rebuilt with dependable arms. We need a new SS, We need outfield help, We need another catcher All we’ve done this offseason is regress and make more holes for ourselves
@ what do we need that we can’t live without? Would it be nice to have a SP BP piece an OFer and SS? Yès but we don’t need them to win. Plenty of 5th starters left. AA could trade for Monty or bring Scherzer in on a 1 year deal. Strider will be back sometime in May. Plenty of BP pieces out there. We've be without a 3rd OFer for a couple of years. AA is operating on a tight budget from Liberty Media. FAs were out of the question. There’s still time before ST starts. If nothing is done by then then get mad.
@ I think they should have broke the bank on Willie Adomes, Arcia hit his full potential for half a season and since has been a total liability at the plate. We could have used a second solid closer so that we could have rotated Inglesa into a solid setup man, give him a little break once in a while. The left field situation needed to be fixed but once again we keep slapping a bandaid over it like a damn flex tape commercial. We let D’arnold walk when Murphy has become a liability at the plate and will depend on a prospect to fill his hole.
Genuine question. Do you really think that BRAVES would even try to sign vlad? Braves are shedding money this season to sign Vlad next season? I don't understand your thought process I find it really stupid. Even this mets sign alonso this season then sign vlad next season, it's so dumb. You're going to pay alonso big money to pay dh? Really? Think of the future and please use your brain if you have some
Nooo way the Braves move Olson off first. He is a far superior fielder to Vladdy. They might pony up, but then again, they haven't spent that kind of money on anybody.
Im not a Bo guy...but...He can lead the league in hits for the next 10 years...or be up there. He has some power and eventually will be at 2B...Vlad is all ???????????? . For all we know he ages like prince fielder and this is the worst possible contract. Or i guess Vlad could be great for 10 years. Either way this sentiment that Bo needs to go and is replaceable is absolutely silly. Losing both is going to really hurt and this team is gonna be DOGwater for 10 years. Sigh.
Just wanna add how happy ill be to see the Rogers center with 8k people a night when the jays are a last place team. Poor cupholders LMAO. On a positive note i think this would lead to Rogers selling the jays and then maybe the fans would get some hope for the future. Great episode.
Roki short term deal with SD, get his feet under him, develop, pitch with Darvish etc... then sign your long term big money deal with LA in 3 years.... win-win.....
The Blue Jays are a joke, if I was Vladdy I'd just stop all negotiations and look forward to free agency. They offer everyone on the market top dollar and act like he's worth somehow less. Vladdy should (and probably does) take that as an insult. I think the Blue Jays front office thinks that they have Vladdy for peanuts when other teams will pay him. I think that's why he set a deadline for negotiations. He wants the Blue Jays to show him he's appreciated and that he is valued for his production on the field which has been productive. The Blue Jays have earned the right to lose him.
Love Vlad but he's too inconsistent to give 475 million to. It would limit their ability to build a team around him because they cant for the life of the team develop pitching. It wasnt that long ago most people were saying sign Bo instead.
I love the idea of the braves getting Louise Roberts
Can She play?
@@WeBeatMedicare6969Lmao
I know Julia and Doris had some minor league experience
Negative war? If so braves are in
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO JIM! Thank you sir
Jim you are the man

Agreed 👍 Braves need a Number 4 Starting Pitcher! Not a Future DH! Olson can field it FAR BETTER at First Base!
@@jeremyhopwood5822this offseason has been so disappointing. I feel like the team is regressing so bad and they are just letting every logic option we need walk without being competitors on any trade
AA brought vlad to Toronto. Marcel will not be a brave after this year.

Jays need to trade Vlady now so they at least get something for him. If they don't, he's gonna walk next year anyway.
I agree. They should just unload now. They aren’t doing anything this year.
Justin verlander signed with the giants
God i hope you're wrong about Bregman and the Jays
Bob nightengale article = Jim Riley update video
Jim in SD it’s not the sister suing the brothers it’s the WIFE.
The Padres are not tranquil 😅. If he goes to a small market, he will be required to carry a bigger load for the team. So idk. I think LA is still the favorite landing spot.
Surprise Vladdy trade rumors aren’t swirling wildly.
Red Sox could get their modern day big papi and manny Ramirez. Devers and Guerrero
Don’t know the return but how about a trade involving the Yankees and Braves… Yanks trade Stroman and some of the contract and Oswald Peraza to Atlanta… not sure the return but it would be a cheap option
Stroman stay away from atlanta

Some Bad 👎 Juju going on Down in Padres Land.
Hope Seattle Mariners sign roki sasaki our pitching is great
As I tigers fan I whole heartedly believe Santander is a smart pick up then Bergman
Mountcastle doesnt move the needle. If it doesnt start with mayo i think seattle keeps castillo. They will hope for bouncebacks and ride that rotation if they dont get the value they want for castillo. How bad do other teams want castillo is the question
You probably get more for him at the deadline especially if he has a solid year.
keeping Castillo then

Sorry didn't get to watch it a day late
The M's are a better club with Castillo than if they traded him for Mountcastle and a couple of scrub prospects. No thanks!
Glad i dtopped by. Bregman/Tigers.
87m 3y 2 opt out.
I don’t think it is Bregman asking that. It’s Boras. He is overvaluing his clients.
I’m really sad for Pete because there is zero market for the botch job of a free agency period that Boras is spinning. If someone offers Pete 5 years, the Mets will extend the hand and wish him well in his new home.

Roki to the Dodgers, no mater what Jim Bowdon says.
Get Vladdy!
Who would take Walker from the Phil’s
Heard Pete is still looking for $200 million🤦 Wake up, not even close. Sasaki goes to L.A. No question.
Why won’t the blue jays give Vlad 450 if that’s all he wants? I don’t get it.
Bregman could still be with the Astros for a reasonable amount
I actually think bregman comes back to Houston ain’t no way he’s leaving the Astros for the tigers Boston don’t want him anymore
@@theoperry3236 No way, where would he play?

Riley is good at spending other people’s money 💰, what’s his net worth?
Braves are not paying 450 million for a 1st baseman when they have Olson locked up
I dont get this castillo is better than mathew boyd is better than sverino and is making less than both
You’re joking right? Castillo has been a consistent above average pitcher or better for 7 years, Boyd has been good for 1 1/2 seasons, and has a long history of being injured and being pretty average before this comeback. I know I’m a Tigers fan. As for Servino, now that is a long history of injuries. So yes, there are some slight differences between Castillo and these guys.
Castillo makes almost twice what Boyd does, and for longer.
He’s a better pitcher than the guys you mentioned period. Also his contract is going to look like a bargain with the projection of pitcher salaries upcoming seasons.
Verlander to Giants. What a waste of a signing for my Giants.
Good for the west teams, Giants are desperate
