re: Who do the Braves keep

The biggest question is what to do with d’Arnaud? Isn’t he gone too?

He got a 2/$16 extension earlier this year.

My offseason to do list would look something like this:

1. Resign Freeman if the price is right. If it gets higher than 6/$160M, AA has to seriously consider letting him go.

2. Figure out the outfielders. I think we should bring back two of them. In this order, I want Rosario, Soler, Duvall, Joc.

3. Add a 5th starter. Going into next season, we have Morton, Fried, and Anderson at the top of the rotation. That is a really good start. After two Achilles tears, the Braves have to operate under the assumption that Soroka won't be back. I think you let the young guys (Muller, Wright, Touki) fight it out for one rotation spot and find a veteran on a one year deal for another.

3. Clear the logjam at the top of the minors. There are several young players in this organization who are talented but are either blocked or need a change of scenery. I'd like to see the Braves put together a package (Muller, Contreras, Waters?) to try and land Ketel Marte from Arizona. That would get CF settled.
