Ozzie Albies

Let's move on.

The other decision is Ozzie Albies has a $7 million club option.

I do want to correct something real quick.

There's been a lot of reporting that this club option, just like the first one he had for 26, is a $7 million club option with a $4 million buyout.

But either way, they're going to exercise both these options.

Now, it's probably worth a conversation on a different show.

about do the Braves consider making a trade of Ozzie Albies, depending on how aggressive they want to be with the roster and blowing things up.

You know, and we'll have that conversation a little bit down the road once we get a word on the club option, which, again, Monday's the deadline for that.

And honestly, he had a chance to completely turn the Phillies playoff series against the Braves.

If he would have made that catch, it wasn't an Ozzie Albies who hit that ball to deep center that Derek Hill just missed over the wall.

But I would give him an A+.

This was a completely unheralded pickup in May or so.

a guy where like you think that that is the upper level ceiling or is this somebody where because this guy can turn into anything from like that upper level of like Jose Ramirez to something more like a Ozzy Albies and then from there like fringe infielder that this type of guys in Cleveland all the time.

So where do you think he kind of falls on that scale of Jose Ramirez slash as Ozzie Albies for you?

Yeah.

I mean, I, I always hesitate to take young guys, 20 year olds to, and throw them up to like the perennial first rounder type conversation of like a Jose Ramirez.

It doesn't impact us, at least in terms of acquiring him, but I do think the Braves absolutely pick up the option and explore trading him.

The Braves also have to make a decision on Ozzie Albies.

It's a $7 million option.

That's nothing.

the Braves one for you.

Ozzie Albies is so cheap.

Michael Penix is so freaking cheap.

Oh, he's here.

I can't go with a middle-of-the-pack guy with a real big risk

of injury.

This is where the Ozzie Albies debate comes in.

Give me a name.

It's dependable, but it's still also got a little bit of like interesting, like intrigue to it.

So for me personally, my Butterfinger baseball players are going to be your Ozzie Albies, your Munataka Murakamis, the guys who like, they just have like a little extra flavor to them on top of being really great dynamic players.

A little sweet butteriness to them.

Yeah.
