The 2025 Braves probably need to replace D'Arnaud, Morton, Arcia, maybe Ozuna, Sale, and Fried.  How far in advance will Anthopolous be working on these changes and signing Woodruff and others?

They locked Sale in for 2025 not long after the trade. I didn't love that decision -- they already had a club option for that year -- but that felt like the exact kind of hedging you're talking about with Fried and Morton uncertain past this year
d'Arnaud's a backup catcher. They have an option on him for '25 and it's not that hard to replace him if they want to move on. They don't really have to plan that in advance

How do you guys come up with those wonderful subscriber emails?  Current events?  Some angle on your mind?  Magic 8 ball?  There're always interesting and well worth the money!  Thanks!

Thanks Jorge, really appreciate that! No real process behind it, just brainstorming different topics and trying to balance how often we write about each team as best we can

I have a detailed analysis that sais the Jays will not win 90 games this year. Won't bore you with it. But, given the marketing being thrown at this team by mgmt. how good/bad should we expect them to be. If the over/under line is 90, and assuming you take the under, how far under?
Anthony Franco

Seems I'm a bit more optimistic than you are. I'd probably take the under on 90 but not by much. Like 88?

Doubt they can replicate last year's rotation health and I'm skeptical about Kikuchi/Berríos having as much success as they did last season, but there's too much offensive talent for me to see them finishing 14th in scoring again

Alright, I have to wrap this one up here. Have some stuff to take care of before my coverage shift at 7:00 eastern

Sorry for the stuff I didn't get to. As always, feel free to throw anything at me on X. I'll try to get back to you on there by the weekend
Thanks for all the questions and for continuing to support the site! Hope you all have a great weekend, we'll do this again next week!
