First career save for Victor Mederos. With 29 pitches thrown today, I wonder if he will optioned to bring up a fresh arm. If so, keep an eye on Blake Burkhalter.
Alex Anthopoulos tells @kingcfb and @RealMattlanta no prospect is off limits, though there's likely one player the Braves would have an extremely difficult time moving.
WHO IS HE TALKING ABOUT?????
Alex Anthopoulos did ANOTHER interview today
Here is what he had to say-
-There are NO off-limits prospects and the rentals will set the price. If it was for someone with control…there’s no off limits.
-There’s ONE player they’d hate to trade but there’s no true off limits. They’ve discussed this recently in the front office.
-They want to win this year and also sustain success but they know this core is getting older. They’ve walked away from guys in the past to keep Harris and Drake etc. it’s threading the needle.
-The CBA and potential work stoppage will NOT impact his deadline decisions they will play baseball again.
-An impact starter is someone he’d trust to start in October.
- They need to record 27 outs in Oct game to game and there are many ways to navigate those 27 outs.
-A great bullpen is one way or a deep rotation etc
-In the post season you map out 27 outs and can do it with openers, 2 inning starts and etc. the dodgers have done it recently.
-He was asked if he had anyone besides Sale that he’d trust to make a playoff start and he said they can’t look at it that way they have to look at it as the best group of pitchers they can put together.
-AA talked to Robert Suarez and told him he his important to the team and the post season. They want to make sure they get his recovery right and take zero chances so he’s healthy. He told Suarez he can’t get another Suarez. They need to be sure he’s 100%. All scans are great just pain management.
-Schwellenbach will have zero impact on the trade deadline simply bc he won’t be pitching in major league game before then. He thinks by early August they’ll know a lot more about him. He is on pace feeling great.
-he thought they were getting Kyle Schwarber in 2021 and thought the deal was as good as done and the Nats pulled out. Inner division made it hard. They got Soler instead.
- Similar happened with Marte.
- some GMs do not care some do.
-not worried about the price at the deadline just the quantity.
- MAYBE 7 guaranteed sellers right now.
🤯Alex Anthopoulos revealed to @kingcfb and @RealMattlanta Braves believed they were "very close" to acquiring Kyle Schwarber at the 2021 trade deadline.
AA said Atlanta felt it had met Washington's asking price before the deal fell apart, adding he believes the division rivalry played a role.
The Braves then pivoted with 30 minutes left before the deadline and landed Jorge Soler. "It's not done until it's done."
Hurston Waldrep’s velo was down and he was removed after 36 pitches while pitching for Gwinnett yesterday. He’ll be further evaluated. Weiss said it’s concerning any time a pitcher has to be removed. Waldrep had arthroscopic elbow surgery in February
I've seen enough man.
These people hate America, they want to destroy our country.
This was obviously a terrorist attack and this man should have a speedy trial and then immediately be executed.
@MrChadBishop Not sure if it was Sunday or an interview he did today. But someone said he said it was easier to make moves in the offseason than at the deadline. But he did nothing for starting pitching in the offseason.
🚨 BOOM! Pete Hegseth just CALLED OUT the media: "These cameras have a choice. You either inform the American people of the truth or your are not."
"Here is a fact you don't hear on the networks that we know."
"Many of the Iranian military factories and bases that we are destroying were paid for by the pallets of American cash that Barack Obama flew into the Tehran under the Iran deal. You might call it an inconvenient truth."
"Iran took our money and turned it into weapons, bunker, ammo. Now we're destroying the weapons and you are righting that grievous wrong. Make no mistake, we had to act. Objectives clear. No nukes, no Navy, complete dismantling of the missile program and defense industrial base."
"We're here to win and we are full speed ahead."
WINNING!
