I listen and read you, listen to Jake and listen to Hammer Territory while walking on the treadmill at the gym. This is by far and away the most even handed treatment of the subject I have read or heard.
The general consensus in a lot of other places are: 1. AA is an idiot for not having already added Bassitt or Giolito to the rotation. 2. AA is an idiot for not having signed Andrew McCutchen who just signed a minor league contract with the Texas Rangers or traded for Soler who is a DH only set to make $13M this season. 3. Terry has got his greedy hands on the $15M and won't let AA spend it.
Thank you for a fair and even-handed discussion of the options available to the Braves - internal, via FA, or via trade.
Same - he has a pretty good shot of making their roster over the other options, especially if they end up carrying both him and Chas McCormick (to play CF). If they decide to only take one backup OF and have Matt Shaw be the other, though, they'll need someone to backup CF and we'd have a chance.

Appreciate that, John. I'm always trying to be fair and balanced here
I would be thrilled to pick up Conforto.

I don’t have much trust that they will make the right move, which would be to add someone.
