Front Office Subscriber Chat Transcript

By Darragh McDonald | July 4, 2025 at 3:35pm CDT

Darragh McDonald

  • Do you want to spend today at a cookout with your friends, family and neighbors? Or do you want to spend it talking to a Canadian about baseball on the internet?
  • Use your freedom to decide on that and I'll be back at 2pm Central. Feel free to drop questions in the meantime.
  • Hello.
  • Do you hear the chimes of freedom where you are?
  • There's construction going on outside my home, so I can barely hear myself think.
  • Let's enjoy discussing baseball together.

Western skies

  • Happy four days after Canada Day! The Braves are saying all the right things, but they’re going to more than tweak before the deadline, right? I’ve thought for some time they will use the All-Star stuff as a showcase/diversion before making any big moves. Then what?

Steve

  • Do you think the Braves sell after the Schwellenbach news? Would Olson to the Red Sox for Casas plus some other pieces be possible?

  • As the Braves continue their quest to prove they are pulseless ,when does the sale/trade begin? When does Snitker and the hitting staff exit?

Darragh McDonald

  • Barring a red-hot streak in the coming weeks, I do think Atlanta needs to accept their fate and sell. I assume that, internally, they are aware things aren't going well.
  • I understand why AA felt the need to project outward confidence. You don't want to tell your players you're waving the white flag.
  • But making a run with no Sale, Schwellenbach, Lopez or AJSS is really hard to see.
  • FanGraphs gives them just a 13.5% chance of making the playoffs as of this moment. Unless they crack off a 13-game winning streak or something, I think they will do some selling, at least of impending free agents.
  • I don't think Olson will be available.
  • As for Snitker and the staff, that I don't know. The World Series victory surely gives him a lot of rope but things have been trending down for a few years now.

    Is the padres left field and catching where Phillies send castellanos and Stubbs for Kolek and maybe Vasquez to shore up the pen? They pulled Stubbs from the minor league game and all the smoke surrounding the office with Casty. ….

    Phillies are in 1st place and have struggled for production from their OF’s outside of Castellanos. Even if they were to move him, Kolek or Vasquez offer no upgrade to the bullpen they are currently throwing out there.
