This is legit how I build teams in the show. Good to know I’m doing it right

I agree with everything said here, except one part: the Braves’ minor league system. I don’t think it’s depleted. People said it was depleted going into this year, and now we have 3 rookies making an impact at the major league level. I think these minor league system ratings get way too caught up in how many hyped prospects they have, without taking into consideration the track record of player development. We still have players we could call up right now if we needed to. They’re just not known to many people outside of hardcore Braves fans.

From the lows of the rebuild from 2013-2017, to our GM being banned from baseball for life, to 4 straight division titles and a World Championship. Watching this squad play now is something really special and something we haven’t seen since the 90s when my dad was growing up, and it’s amazing to see. Alex Anthopoulos is a wizard and a guaranteed Braves hall of famer for what he’s accomplished in 5 short years

The rebuild was really only 2015-2017. They won 96 games in 2013 and, while they only won 79 games in 2014, they brought back a team that was very similar to the 2013 team (Hudson and McCann were notable subtractions) and they were in contention before a September collapse. They started trading everyone after the 2014 season...Heyward, both Upton brothers, Kimbrel, Gattis, etc. Simmons was traded after the 2015 season.

The issue with locking down the entire roster is not only injuries but other teams eventually will figure them out and if they aren’t able to adjust back then the team won’t be able to change much of the roster

The Braves are also clutch! Most of their runs come in the later innings with 2 outs and 2 strikes!

There is a reason the braves are so good and and the guys sign for cheap and why Freddie Freeman cried on television over being a dodger...Atlanta and this team is a special place to be and play and these guys like being here that's why they sign the contracts that are team friendly...I believe in this team and these young guys will win it all again and soon...

I feel like something not many people are considering is the possibility that the Braves players consistently signing for less may have less to do with the Front Office being cheap and the players not knowing their worth, but perhaps the players just *want* to play for Atlanta. A good chunk of the players on the team seem actively invested in the city beyond their job description of playing for the team, and the core has impeccable chemistry, they're all best friends or close to it. Add onto this the fact that especially after last year this org has a winning reputation...why would you ever want to leave?

Something to add that’s important for the Braves moving forward that wasn’t mentioned in the video or in the comments I have read it the problem with money they could run into with the ownership group. Liberty Media is notably stingy but going forward they have promised some more financial support for the team, but this is only after the success of a World Series. As a Braves fan, I’m concerned the budget may not grow if the team were to take a step back in the playoffs in the coming years. Either way, the team does have a phenomenal young core that has me excited for the future. The only concern I have is the ownership group’s willingness to provide cash to make some large free agent splashes to supplement the core.

They're doing it to avoid Albert Pujols-type contracts later...

Love how the braves front office works I know they got best this year but after winning last year and the young talent they have locked up its safe to say they'll be back

They also have a very underrated farm system. Alot of guys have come out of nowhere from development in their minors. They have alot of good coaches and even their major league guys will help out alot with minor league players in the winter.

Dynasty ...right..just loaded bases 1 out and Travis swings at 2 balls way out of zone out 2 ...Rosario up loaded bases one swing at dirt pitch and watches one go by 3 outs..this is your dynasty...Braves avg 15 runners LOB per game and the starting pitchers barely make it to 5 th inning where all hell breaks loose 6 th inning to ninth inning the pen blows games to often...snitker leaves pitchers in way to long worried about the pitchers feelings more than a win for the TEAM.

This Braves team is absolutely insane you would think it couldn't get better after a title in 2021 and after they lost Freeman you would think that's the peak of the Braves but it probably won't be with their absolutely crazy young core

It is interesting the extensions to the young players have all been for position players to this point. Maybe it is lower risk? Maybe it is just a timing thing. But they seem to be willing to pay for the hot hard, the veteran bullpen arms, and develop pitching constantly while seeking to create a stable and dependable starting 9 for the long term. This team should be good a long time. It's a well run organization, and they are literally printing money at Truist Park while putting a high quality product on the field. Oh, and do not discount the premium the organization puts on homegrown talent. They have a lot of guys from the Southeast who want to play in Atl, and their family and friends flock to the park to see them play. It is a solid organization up and down.
