It’s not like the Dodgers where we can just go buy a Mookie and a Scherzer and add it to our already loaded roster.

To be fair I’m not sure any of those guys enjoyed playing together. They compiled a team for a year, won it all and then left.

I’m thinking more along the lines of the NE Patriots and Brady reducing contract size for overall talent. Freddie could name his price, but I’m hoping he knows he’s a Braves legend and we can keep the group together for more rings.

This team is very tightly budgeted and if they sign Freeman it will likely being even more restrictive. They managed to win because they paid peanuts for people who performed much better than at their previous spots. In order for this team to succeed it needs to be healthy and it needs to keep hitting the lottery on former performers that can be had for cheap. It’s not like the Dodgers where we can just go buy a Mookie and a Scherzer and add it to our already loaded roster. That said, it should be a playoff team with the core every year.

No offense, but this is a terrible take.

This team is very young and for the most part, controllable. The entire infield outside of Freddie is either signed long-term(Albies) or under team control(Riley & Dansby). Plus, that is the BEST infield in baseball defensively and offensively. 30 HR's from everyone but Dansby who hit 27.

Dansby is 27, Ozzie & Riley are both 24. Freddie is 32.

Acuna(signed long-term) will be 24 in under a month.

Fried is 27, Soroka is 24, Ian Anderson is 23. All under team control.

See where I'm going? If you think this was some fluke and we were doing this w/spare parts or guys having pop years you are wrong. This team has a chance to go on a dynastic run that hasn't been seen since the late 90's/early 00's Yankees.

And The Dodgers will not win another title as long as Roberts is the manager. Dude is overrated. He over-manages like an MF'er.
