Trade Rumors Front Office Subscriber Chat Transcript

By Steve Adams | June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm CDT

MLBTR's Steve Adams hosted a live chat today, at 2pm CT, exclusively for Trade Rumors Front Office subscribers.

Steve Adams

  • Good afternoon! I'll get this started at 2:30pm CT, but feel free to send in some questions ahead of time if you prefer!
  • Greetings all! Let's get underway a bit early

Mrs Murphy

  • Is it time to wave the white flag in Atlanta? This offense is just a lost used to be.What’s next for them?

Steve Adams

  • Quite a few questions like this from Braves fans, and understandably so, given the poor performance of late, but I generally don't think it's too late for almost any team in MLB, with the obvious exceptions (Rox, Marlins, White Sox, probably the O's and A's).

    Atlanta is 5.5 back in the Wild Card chase and "only" four games under .500, which is pretty remarkable when you consider the early struggles and all the time they've had without Strider and Acuña.

    Heck, the 2021 Braves were three under .500 at the deadline, and they went on to win the World Series. The Mets and Astros were 10 under .500 this time last year. The 2019 Nats and 2022 Phils were buried even further.

  • I was underwhelmed by the Braves' offseason, and losing Profar to a PED suspension is brutal, but it's still a talented core with plenty of winnable series on the near horizon. They get the Rockies, A's, Angels, Orioles, Marlins and a currently struggling D-backs club all before the All-Star break.

    Asking for a friend. Most MLB’ers play well in their walk years. Has there ever been an article describing performances after they “get their bag”?

    I’ve watched the Mariners all season and the long reliever role seems dead. Very rarely does a pitcher go 2 innings for this team let alone 3-5 in mop up duty. Wouldn’t it make sense to have one non max effort pitcher in the bullpen to long term save your bullpen? What happened to the traditional 12th pitcher on the roster?

    That’s more like it, last chat had five Reds questions, this one had zero. Had me scared, I thought we had changed markets.
