    Haven’t the Braves looked at Kyle Seager before? Wouldn’t be shocked if they kicked the tires again.

    He put up 2.9 WAR in 106 games last year. He’s got 2 years left on his contact at just under $20 per and a $15 team option for year 3. Braves could do a lot worse.

    Team option turns into a player option if traded, apparently.

    His defense is falling off rapidly and he’s been a league average hitter for 3 years

    You’d be paying that much for infield Kakes

    Kyle Seager had more WAR last year coming off hand surgery and only playing 106 games than Nick Markakis has had in 10 years. Nick Markakis has surpassed 2.9 WAR exactly twice ever.

    Kyle Seager had another good year defensively last year.


    The Braves may not want to give up the prospects necessary to get him, but pretty much everything you’ve said about him is wrong. If Kyle Seager wasn’t wasting away on shit teams in Seattle, he’d be a star.

    There is still an opportunity to sign Castellenos and/or put a trade together for another bat. At this point though I don't see any trades happening til the deadline. I refuse to believe this is the lineup we are bringing to opening day.

    It's one thing to just go cheap to be cheap, and not sign all those bullpen pieces. But to do what we did early in free agency with all those arms and then turn around and do nothing to improve the lineup wouldn't make any sense.

    Liberty is, for lack of a better word, pragmatic. And doing what we are doing makes no sense baseball wise or business wise.

    Seager is left-handed, which isn't an ideal fit. Offense has been simply slightly above-average the last three seasons as opposed to well above-average.

    7 years/$100M (2015-21)
    • signed extension with Seattle 12/2/14
    • $3.5M signing bonus
    • 15:$4M, 16:$7.5M, 17:$10.5M, 18:$18.5M, 19:$19M, 20:$19M, 21:$18M, 22:$15M club option
    • 2022 option may increase by $5M to $20M based on award and plate appearances, with buyout ranging from none to $3M
    • with trade, 2022 becomes player option

    I don't think Seager is a guy that requires serious prospects. You just take the contract.

    Think we could sweet talk the Mariners for Seager and Haniger? They seem like they would take a nice package of prospects, and have a need for Ender

    Haniger tore it up in MLB the Show when I traded for him, but I believe the game assumes he has both testicles.

    In reality, I'd be all over that trade (assuming Haniger's testicular health is OK). Think he'd fit in nicely.

    Pretty sure they repaired the ruptured testicle and did not remove it. So he still technically has two testicles though I can not speak to the functionality of the damaged one.

    God, this is absolute bullshit. I've been reticent to call out ownership's lack of interest in competing in hopes of a bigger push once they felt we were close. Now it's completely obvious they don't give a single fuck about this team or the fanbase. Corporate ownership is the absolute goddamn worst.
