1. We did something actually likable by all??????

2. Now that’s one hell of a bullpen upgrade

3. Oh hell yeah

4. HOLY SHIT

   

5. Nice

6. LET’S GOOOOO

   Iggy to Suarez is gonna be awesome.

7. I told you all we are definitely not done spending. What an excellent signing! It’s also honestly more than I expected we’d spend signing a reliever. I’m very happy with this.

8. Christmas came early!

9. AA IS BURNING DOWN THE KITCHEN

10. Merry Christmas to us

11. #GET IN HERE

12. 

13. Iglesias and Suarez? Heck of a back end of the pen!

14. Braves winning games back on the menu

15. Wow 2 straight signings scooped by national reporters. Braves official Twitter is slacking lately

16. Now work your magic on HS Kim, Mr Profar

17. 75 saves over the past two seasons? Yes, please.

    Raisel to the 8th?

18. AA is deep frying a frozen turkey on top of a cardboard box in the Braves kitchen.

19. Seems like a good pickup. He’s already 34 though, so hopefully there’s some years left on his arm.

20. 

21. Love this signing. Think Raisel will be fine being the set up? I know some closers are kinda picky about that stuff. Raisel to Robert is going to be a lockdown duo

22. 

    AA fleece. We’re so back!!

23. 

    AA has reentered the kitchen.

24. Love this and the price. Honestly surprised he didn’t get higher AAV on a 3 year deal or someone offering longer.

25. Keep going

    My wife dislikes Ohtani…

27. Just watched some highlights of him on YouTube and the first clip is him striking out Kelenic. He also throws an easy looking 101.

28. So weird that bullpen is the only area AA is willing to pay up for.

29. I won’t lie, I thought this said Ranger Suárez and I dropped to my knees in a Long John Silvers to thank AA. I still like this pick though! Suárez had 76 saves over the last 2 season, was an all star in 2024 and 2025, AND was suspended for intentionally hitting Ohtani for 2 games. Jimenez to Iggy to Suárez is gonna be the move!

31. The cope in the Mets sub is hilarious. “That’s too much money for a 35 y/o reliever” lmao

32. This also takes another closer off the boards that the Mets can’t sign.

33. If we can get Joe back at some point that’s a nasty 7-9. Plus 2 solid lefties in Lee and Bummer. Wouldn’t mind one more big arm though.
