The Braves Are Trying to Build a Dynasty (And It Might Work)

- Hey everyone!
Not every World Series winning team can transition into becoming a dynasty. Only a select few can do it and I think the Atlanta Braves can do it. With their mixture of contracts, player development, and savviness they are one of the very few current teams with dynasty potential. However, at the same time, so many unforeseen things can go wrong.

As a Braves fan I'm sure Hank Aaron is resting peacefully knowing the Braves won it all and are trending upward. What I love most about this team is the players bought into the tradition and want to be Braves.
As a Phillies fan, what you love most about your team is what I hate most about your team. I mean those deals are just unreal. I want to hate but I can’t help but respect what they are doing. I hope it blows up in their face but I don’t think it will
@@btk72491 my best friend is a Phillies fan and he too hopes it blows up in the Braves face lol.
He’s dead and his brain is shut off so I doubt he knows anything right now
Hank is in the grave with no thoughts until the resurrection.
@@willp.8120 you don't say 😏
As a Braves fan, going through the dark ages of the mid 2010s was worth it. This allowed the front office to have a better chance of acquiring high end talent and build a team that can win in the future and they did just that! I am so blessed that the Braves franchise built a proven commodity that carries a winning team, culture and spirit. I look forward to the future optimistically as I see the Home of the Braves gunning for more rings.
Honestly. There was so much pressure to just give up on our team
i feel you bro but nothing was worst than the braves of the 80's
More like the dark ages from '96 til '21 lmao. I always joke that we packed a century's worth of Cub futility into a 1/4 of the time. 🤣
What's kind of funny. Is that although it was subpar play for a few years, calling it the dark ages is a stretch. We will probably never see tru dark ages. Several of those years we werent far from a wild card spot.
@@joshwhitley8969 I think it's easier if your team is complete trash though rather than "Let me dangle this carrot in front of your face for a quarter of a century only to snap it back when you get close to winning it all" It's much harder to stick with a team like the Braves after all those early post season exits. I'd argue being a Reds or Pirates fan is a walk in the park. You know exactly what to expect. Neverending futility. Anything else is gravy.
As a Braves Fan, I don’t know if it’ll be a Dynasty(hopefully so), but I’ll say this. Alex Anthopoulos is very good at his job.
facts
As a lifelong Braves fan and Atlanta native I ain't saying sh!t so I don't jinx us.
As a Braves fan, my mind doesn’t jump to dynasty. Winning it all last year showed me how hard it is to win a championship. What that Braves have done is build a team that can consistently compete year in and year out. And as a fan that’s all I can really ask for.
U guys like Alex anthopolus?
Agreed. Even with people completely flipping out about the last two games, they're 29 games over .500.
@@SamtheBravesFan We would have more wins if Braves have a better manager...he can't manage the bullpen. He put AJ Minter on the mound when it was a blowout game on Friday, then he pitches for 3 days straight...smh
@@lawncaremadeeasy3183 let’s just say we’re ok with our old GM being banned from baseball for life since it gave us the chance to hire Alex
@@darith770 I mean. He did during the World Series and Playoffs. That seemed to work out. And, up until this last couple of games, it was fine. Just bad luck. It's bound to happen eventually. Jansen is still one of the best closers in the game and Minter is still a great reliever. They're bound to have a bad couple of games. Luckily the Mets lost, so didn't lose any ground and they have a series agains the Dodgers coming up..
Those Acuna and Albies contracts give them so much room to create a truly dominant team for the next 5-8 years the problem is though that the dodgers exist
The problem for the Dodgers is though that the playoffs exist
@@cheez__it___7015 True I'm just saying it's gonna be hard to maintain a dynasty with some of the other high budget teams that know how to develop
dynasty? Braves are not even wining their division lol
@@jf7910 ok? They’re still going to be a World Series contender for years to come
@@MrJesse302 but not a dynasty when the Dodgers are blocking their way every years.
Another cool thing is they’re putting lots of investment into hometown guys. Swanson, Harris, and Olson are all from the Atlanta area and Riley and Kyle Wright both grew up Braves fans. There are more coming up through the system.
I think Swanson takes a reasonable deal (like 110/6) and Grissom gets moved to LF long-term.
@@claydouglas2526 that would be the best possible outcome. Locks up their lineup for years and still gives them money to add to the team.
@@acgonzales7 Really up to Dansby. He could probably get 10-15% more from another (probably worse, unless he replaces Turner in LA) team. Or he could be a Braves lifer
Yeah, wasn’t Owen Murphy a Braves fan growing up?
@@claydouglas2526 absolutely. I think the Braves will offer him a fair deal so he'll have to decide if he wants to get more somewhere else. He's said many times ATL is and will remain his home, so I still think they get it done, just not top dollar.
The Braves have locked up a strong core, with hitting, power, defense, and some killer baserunning....which allows them to do what they've always loved to do: draft pitching on top of pitching on top of more pitching. Good luck over the next 5-10 years, NL.
Huge braves fan from Brazil. 🇧🇷🇧🇷
Grew up as a kid in Atlanta from 1991-1996. very satisfying to watch another world championship, and the construction of another winning team. Hats off to Alex.
Grew up a Braves fan as I watched them on TBS as a kid. This does my heart good to see such a great and good hearted baseball club make an amazing run at a dynasty!
I hope they do honestly, the Braves are just fun to watch
Hell no
As long as the Padres win one, I’m good with whatever the Braves do
@@kapo2012fb Mets always find ways to lose. Go Astros! Will be a WS rematch of Braves/Astros this year
@@kapo2012fb you might not like them but they are so fun to watch
The tomahawk chop Braves fans do in the stands is fun to watch.
The more the Braves win, the more often we will all see that tomahawk chop.
I agree with everything said here, except one part: the Braves’ minor league system. I don’t think it’s depleted. People said it was depleted going into this year, and now we have 3 rookies making an impact at the major league level. I think these minor league system ratings get way too caught up in how many hyped prospects they have, without taking into consideration the track record of player development. We still have players we could call up right now if we needed to. They’re just not known to many people outside of hardcore Braves fans.
From the lows of the rebuild from 2013-2017, to our GM being banned from baseball for life, to 4 straight division titles and a World Championship. Watching this squad play now is something really special and something we haven’t seen since the 90s when my dad was growing up, and it’s amazing to see. Alex Anthopoulos is a wizard and a guaranteed Braves hall of famer for what he’s accomplished in 5 short years
which gm was that?
@@sandwichmeatproductions9231 John Coppolella, he was the GM from 2015-2017
The rebuild was really only 2015-2017. They won 96 games in 2013 and, while they only won 79 games in 2014, they brought back a team that was very similar to the 2013 team (Hudson and McCann were notable subtractions) and they were in contention before a September collapse. They started trading everyone after the 2014 season...Heyward, both Upton brothers, Kimbrel, Gattis, etc. Simmons was traded after the 2015 season.
My first Braves game was in 1968. Grew up in Atlanta from 1971-1990. Love this team. They are so fun to watch. I've been to more than 250 games. #CHOPON!!!
This is legit how I build teams in the show. Good to know I’m doing it right
Watching this (9/2) the day after Strider struck out 16 in 8 innings and that performance justifies this whole video. Braves are in the for the long haul and they aren’t messing around
As a Braves fan, I’m so excited for the future of this team. Great Video!
Lol
Thanks!
With me being a Braves fan. This video was perfect in every way to explain the Braves dynasty coming in the future! Go Braves!
There is a reason the braves are so good and and the guys sign for cheap and why Freddie Freeman cried on television over being a dodger...Atlanta and this team is a special place to be and play and these guys like being here that's why they sign the contracts that are team friendly...I believe in this team and these young guys will win it all again and soon...
The Braves are also clutch! Most of their runs come in the later innings with 2 outs and 2 strikes!
At 6:18 if you want to be technical, Morton was a free agent signing, but he WAS drafted and made his debut with Atlanta
Yeah I nearly mentioned that
Yeah I nearly mentioned that
The issue with locking down the entire roster is not only injuries but other teams eventually will figure them out and if they aren’t able to adjust back then the team won’t be able to change much of the roster
The Braves won 101 games this season. Even though they came up short in the post season, but it was a great season, considering all the injuries and many of the players not playing at the top of their ability.
Honestly, them coming back and winning the nl east alone made me happy. They'll be good next year.
Great Video! Go Braves!
Thank you!
Can’t wait to watch the video. Your content is so great always looks forward to new videos. Keep up the great work
Thank you!
Dynasty ...right..just loaded bases 1 out and Travis swings at 2 balls way out of zone out 2 ...Rosario up loaded bases one swing at dirt pitch and watches one go by 3 outs..this is your dynasty...Braves avg 15 runners LOB per game and the starting pitchers barely make it to 5 th inning where all hell breaks loose 6 th inning to ninth inning the pen blows games to often...snitker leaves pitchers in way to long worried about the pitchers feelings more than a win for the TEAM.
The internet told me it’s a dynasty
Yep, an ugly game.
Currently 1 back from the Mets.... that aged poorly
I luv my braves! Been watching the thru the 70's & 80's! So ya know... I LUV my Braves!!!
Hey i am Jays fan and would like to say congrats to the braves. Super jealous of losing anthopolus. Love that guy. Your team is awesome and watch games if possible.
This Braves team is so much fun to watch! This season as been fun especially the last 3 months!
Great video. Hoping for at least one more WS victory with this core intact. Looks promising, but as you touched on, you never know.
Being a Braves fan, This team is really exciting to watch play
This video is just about how the Braves are so good at finessing
Lol you’re not wrong
And Alex did it again. Trading Chavez for Iglesias then claiming Chavez on waivers after the Angels dropped him. Got back Uncle Jesse and straight up hoodwinked Anaheim.
@@kfizz21 Ok but let's be fair. Does anyone in Anaheims front office know how to run a baseball team?
Hello Sportstorm, I’ve watched your videos for a few years now. Great job documenting the Atlanta Braves. This is an example of build a team from the ground up. Keep up the great work.
Thank You,
Braves Fan Mr Lane Sir
Man you’ve been watching since the beginning, that’s amazing. Thank you!
Braves scouting is insane. They have a kid that was a 9th round pick that's lighting up double a right now.
Here's a good question - what team do you see as next in the pipeline as a "drafts smart, signs team-friendly early deals" contender like the Sox or Braves?
Cleveland is in the convo. Maybe the Royals in a few years. If I’m going to guess a random team, maybe the Marlins or DBacks
The Orioles have potential. If they can get Adley, Gunnar Henderson, and Grayson Rodriguez all signed on the cheap they will be scary
Braves have such an advantage because so many southern and Latino (both extremely fertile talent pools) grew up Braves fans
Red Sox GM Chaim Bloom is a product of the Rays organization, he's going to be doing the same with Bello and Marcelo and co.
@@nickparadies350 very
I got to watch strider at a lookouts game. Nasty stuff along with amazing speed. Not to mention his mom sat right behind my family.
Such a credit to the GM and owner for recognizing the talent they had early on and locking a lot of these guys up. Grey scouting and coaching to develop as well
I feel like something not many people are considering is the possibility that the Braves players consistently signing for less may have less to do with the Front Office being cheap and the players not knowing their worth, but perhaps the players just *want* to play for Atlanta. A good chunk of the players on the team seem actively invested in the city beyond their job description of playing for the team, and the core has impeccable chemistry, they're all best friends or close to it. Add onto this the fact that especially after last year this org has a winning reputation...why would you ever want to leave?
Bro that piano with the drums still gives me chills, since your Saski video
AA has been a God's send and has really turned this team around. And its nice to see that he is giving back to us Braves Fans by spending some money. On the other hand We don't have to spend the type of money that the Dodgers and Mets do. All I can ask for is a contender ever year. The last 5 years have been fun to watch. Winning the 2021 World Series was so satisfying because we weren't expected to win it all at the Allstar break.
This was a very well researched and eye opening video about my favorite team ❤️ good stuff keep it up.
Thank you!
Having a PSA 9 rated and documented Riley rookie month ball (documented in his first two weeks more exactly) where he was also MVP .. It's an heirloom that I'll never sell.
When u play that piano song with the beats along with the broadcast.. that gives me chills
That Strider transition was dope, subbed
Thanks!
This is exactly how you build a team. As much as I don't wanna see any other team besides the Astros win I love to see a well run organization. Cherish it Atlanta
I think the Astros will be a Dynasty, as long as they can keep their pitching staff. They are also another very smart team.
The Mets tried to buy their way again this off-season and didn't get Carlos Correa. Some bad luck for them, but they still have a very strong team. But, we will see how their team chemistry pans out this season.
Love how the braves front office works I know they got best this year but after winning last year and the young talent they have locked up its safe to say they'll be back
Was waiting for this ! ❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽
The Braves are doing these young cats a favor if you ask me. They perform they make more, its that easy. Thats what the players and owners agreed on so the Braves aren't doing anything wrong by giving these young guys guaranteed money and the opportunity to make more. And lets not forget that some of these Braves will be young enough to get another contract which could potentially be more.
The braves are basically paying acuna and albies league minimum salary (joke). Also, that dodgers graphic at the end is insane. Number 2 farm system and best record in MLB (with 4 former mvps and 7 capable playoff starters)
That is much easier to do when you have easily the highest payroll.
I find it funny the Braves were ranked so low on farm system, because we proved that is wrong this year. How can you at the preseason be ranked so low, and then have the 2 players that would win ROTY most years at the same time. And grissom is here also making a case with insane numbers. Maybe they should look at the system again lol
@@SphealDude Braves have a "low" farm b/c their prospects graduated to the big show :)
@@darith770 we had a low farm system BEFORE the season tho, and now we have some AA players kicking ass. Yea now we might but, still after the gross underestimation they should check again lol
If the Braves had the dodgers money. They could sign Judge and Degrom in the off season.
They also have a very underrated farm system. Alot of guys have come out of nowhere from development in their minors. They have alot of good coaches and even their major league guys will help out alot with minor league players in the winter.
The Braves are indeed a very well run team. But IDK about dynasty. The competition is stronger than ever today, and sometimes you just need some luck / breaks to go your way. Nothing is ever guaranteed, like you pointed out with the White Sox.
I'd like to see a Braves/White Sox World Series matchup. Obviously the White Sox won't be getting there this year...but maybe in 2023 or 2024.
As a Warriors fan, the Braves are the Golden State Warriors of the Mlb, they draft well and have on of the best player development systems in the league
This video changed my perception of Braves
Been waiting for so long for one of the baseball CZcamsrs to make a video about awesome the Braves are. This video rocks man, killer job
Thanks!
They did something very similar in the late 1980's going into the 1990's.
They're doing it to avoid Albert Pujols-type contracts later...
I might be a Yankee fan, but I know when I see a potentially decade-dominating team. The Atlanta Braves look like they are that team. I still think the Dodgers, Astros & Mets win Championships this decade as well. They're all good teams. But the Braves have a very good young core and great player development that I haven't seen in a long, long time.
I just hope Atlanta can win more than one title this time around unlike in the '90s. I don't expect to win four out of five like the Yankees did during their dynasty run but three titles over seven or eight years would still be great.
This Braves team is absolutely insane you would think it couldn't get better after a title in 2021 and after they lost Freeman you would think that's the peak of the Braves but it probably won't be with their absolutely crazy young core
This video is lookin nice at midseason
60 win at the midseason point. This video might Age like fine wine
They need to win more than one WS before talk like that.Yeah they're good, but it's hard to win the WS and even tougher to win it more than once. They thought the same thing about the Braves in the early 1990's but they only won it once.
If Freeman was still here, considering the form they're in and freddie is in, a lock for the WS for sure
Matt is cool, but he ain’t Freddie that’s for damn sure
@@Confecting Atlanta needs to win another World Series soon to end two narratives...
1. The narrative that they're a one-hit wonder
2. The narrative that they can't win a title without Freddie Freeman
I can't tell ya how impressive a job the front office and scout team has done. I know it's been a while now, but when turner sold the team, I figured we were done as a pennant threat, and that was true, for a few years, but I think this organization is in the best spot it's been in since shurholtz was dominating. And it's been done the right way. Chop em!!!
I've come to amend my statement. This isn't the best spot we've been in since Shurholtz. This is the best spot the organization has ever been in. Everyone is young and locked in except Fried. It's incredible.
Thank you bringing up the injury risk factor in these deals because no one has that I have heard.
This is one of the smartest front offices in the league, they are looking to be the east coast version of the LA Dodgers. 1. Recruit top notch talent who also grew up near Atlanta, were Atlanta fans as kids, have interest in being a brave. 2. Cultivate talent within their farm system. 3. Sign them to long term contracts. This is very the similar to the LA Dodgers approach.
Dodgers also buy a lot of their talent.... I dont think they are that similar.
Awesome video really gave me more insight into the financial side of baseball... Hope the Braves can close the season strong and take the division again but the future overall certainly looks bright
Thank you I needed it that let's go braves 💙 🙌 👏 💪
I see flashes of the 90’s and 00’s Braves, this team can go on another great run to hopefully win more championships
GoodLuck trying to Win 3 WorldSeries in a Row like they did in the '90s with Glavine, Gant, Klesko, Maddux and Justice
More Braves content please!!
Best pitcher in history and your reason why readyyy go!
One * about anderson i would add is his struggle only appeared this year as before he was a solid starter you could count on. I'm not so sure what happened between 2021 and 2022. Can't wait to get Soroka back to full form and hopefully Wright continue to pitch well
Something to add that’s important for the Braves moving forward that wasn’t mentioned in the video or in the comments I have read it the problem with money they could run into with the ownership group. Liberty Media is notably stingy but going forward they have promised some more financial support for the team, but this is only after the success of a World Series. As a Braves fan, I’m concerned the budget may not grow if the team were to take a step back in the playoffs in the coming years. Either way, the team does have a phenomenal young core that has me excited for the future. The only concern I have is the ownership group’s willingness to provide cash to make some large free agent splashes to supplement the core.
Great video. Also Vaughn Grissom and spencer strider making a huge impact as well. braves are here to stay for a very long time.
AA is literally the best GM in baseball. He just has an eye for finding players that teams write off and turning them into stars. He literally did what Billy did in Moneyball except he won the last game of the season. We call it the Battery because AA powers it.
Sorry but Andrew Friedman is the best gm in baseball.Dodgers have made a bunch of average players no one wanted into all stars or good pitchers.But I won't lie the braves are loaded and will be dangerous for good while.I do give credit to the gm for getting there players to sign cheaper contracts.That guy is a genius.There scouting is top notch.
Very very tough to be a dynasty in today’s day and age, but the Braves should make the postseason every year for the next ~decade, and once you’re in, anything can happen
If people are expecting four out of five like the Yankees then it probably won’t happen but something like three out of seven is not unrealistic (but definitely tough).
@@87Khein even the best teams are only ~30% to win at the outset, so even 3/7 would be exceptional. Just too much entropy in the sport.
@@claydouglas2526 It would still be difficult to win three out of seven but the point is that it's much more likely that a team wins some spread out titles like the Red Sox have (2004, 2007, 2013, 2018) than have a true dynasty like the Yankees (1996, 1998, 1999, 2000). The Braves winning in 2021, 2023 and 2027 is much more realistic than winning in 2021, 2022, 2024 and 2025.
@@87Khein well yeah…titles are hard to win, so you’ve got a much better chance of winning fewer titles over more years. That’s not exactly groundbreaking econometrics.
As a fan of an AL West team who is unbiased in the matter I don't know if it will work. Uncle Steve over there in Queens has shown that he's willing to write blank checks. Yeah the Braves have a bunch of really good players locked up long term, but Steve Cohen is going to hand out mega deals to the really great players.
How many titles have the Dodgers, Angels, Yankees and Phillies combined for in the last 10 years? Money doesn’t guarantee trophies.
@@87Khein You forgot to add the red sox, nats and giants to this list.. All these clubs in the top 7 or 8 in opening day payroll in their championship years. You are correct that money doesn't gurantee trophies, but from the list, it appears it gives you better odds to do it
I think people underestimate the value of consistency in a man's life. The freedom of knowing where you're gonna live and that your teammates that you love will also be there and that you can all continue to help each other and keep each other accountable is worth a lot of money. When you've already got millions? It's priceless. So these Braves have freedom to just focus on having fun playing baseball and taking care of themselves as humans. The Braves are building a community, not just a baseball team, and potentially it's a new recipe for an all-time dynasty. Time will tell! 1 game out of first right now!
Extremely well done research and edit. Well done.
Amazing!
i just love this channel so much
Great video man
I’m not super confident we will make another deep postseason run this year, but with Acuña and Albies coming back healthy for 2023 and all the guys locked up for the foreseeable future, I don’t see how we don’t win at least one more title
2014-2017 was very tough for us but we’re back
I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a rule change where it stipulates that you may not sign a player to a contract before they have completed 3 seasons in the MLB, defined as having been called up before July. So you could technically get around that by calling up players in July, even if they are ready to be called up in April for their debut, just so you can use them a little bit more. But I think this could be necessary to prevent the highway robbery the Braves are doing, as well as to prevent future teams from doing the same thing
Yeah I also foresee some sort of restrictions in the future
Watch Manfred do something stupid
@@smartluck100 What? I’m sure he will, but what will he do
@@PhilliesNostalgia Just what you said in the paragraph above. I don’t think it’s highway robbery, I think Alex Anthopolus is doing what he has to do not having the deep pockets of the Yankees or the Dodgers. It’s brilliant.
Great video man! Loved it as a Braves fan.
I saw this coming years ago. It astounds me that more small market teams don’t do this.
Braves owner wants to win, other small market owners want to make money, if the player they pay before they prove their worth, they won’t wanna risk it with the chance they lose money. They aren’t putting a contender on the field, they wanna put 1-2 big names to draw crowds.
@@DJ_107 It depends. The Rays want to win and they don’t typically do this (although Wander is now an exception).
The Braves have a giant strategy that you do not mention. What do Austin Riley, Matt Olsen, and Michael Harris II have in common? They grew up in The SE and were Braves fans. Dansby Swanson did as well. That is how they got on team friendly deals.
Braves also lost prospects for paying international free agents under the table a few years back
Ahh sportstorm blessing us w a new vid. What A Treat
As a Braves fan I can honestly see another championship real soon.
I love it!
Great video!!!
In AA we trust
The Braves are the most exciting team in baseball.
As a Braves fan this is the happiest time of my life
Well done on the video!!
good content as always
Thanks!
0:14 ah I remember this day I was there
This team is built for the long haul. I never thought I’d see a team that was on the same level as those 90’s teams but this one has a chance to be better.
great video bro
Thanks!
