How about yall just take Donaldson instead? We'll take a league average reliever for him.

As quality as Donaldson’s .475 slugging % is. That’s well below our team average slugging.

And we need all the bullpen help we can get.

So unless you want Hildenberger, no deal

I'd probably do it. I don't like Donaldson, and I want Riley playing third, not left field.

Really after the Bautista shit show last season and now with giving Donaldson 23 million to play a position we were already 3 deep and did literally nothing to address a terrible bullpen, I never want another former Blue Jay on the Braves.

Our GM came from Toronto and loves him some nostalgia pieces.

I look for us to trade for Edwin Encarnacion so we will have had the entire Toronto big 3.

He should come play for the Twins.

You'll get your whipping soon enough. Be patient.

Game winning hit in extras last night too

My man, here, has a full on rager for Austin Riley.

As much as you dislike Donaldson, I think our best lineup for this season is keeping him at 3rd & Riley playing left. We all love Culbertson, but I don't see him being a .260 guy as an every day player.

He's overshadowing Huira, but he's doing just fine, thank you. Fielding is shaky but I'll take .300, 5 HR and 9 RBIs, slugging .567. Great #s at 2B

Austin Riley is unreal....But dont let ESPN know that, they still pushing Vlad Jr.

ESPN is useless unless you're watching an actual game, and even then, their Sunday Night Baseball broadcast team is a joke.

You’re being kind in describing it as a joke. The freakin split tail is actually better than Rodriguez. He’s the worst color guy I’ve ever heard on a sportscast. Stump Daddy Tanner was even better.

They get information wrong that there's really no excuse for, and it drives me crazy.

Ever since Baseball Tonight was inexplicably canned, there has been zero reason to ever watch ESPN for insight.

It’s sad

I've been on the MLB Network train for years now.

When it comes to college football, ESPN's coverage is unmatched, but for baseball, they suck.

MLB network is fantastic....& Kelly Nash’s tits are some of the best on the planet.
