I think we should go after a top tier veteran starting pitcher at some point. Teheran looking kinda flabby in the last couple of outings

Wish that was 10-32 tbh. We need to let the young guys cook and get the vets outta here. I need Acuna, Albies, Freddie, and Johan to do their thing and the rest can kick rocks

I want/wanted a playoff team after the first couple months of the yr, but coming into the year we all just wanted maybe 80 wins. So IDK what I want now, but I'm not expecting much in the way of trades. We brought Johnny Venters back for basically nothing but I doubt we do much more

I’m good with 80 wins if that comes with our young guys getting work. We’d be better just by giving them chances. No reason ya boy JT or 75% of bullpen should ever set foot on the mound for us again

Braves' Sean Newcomb expresses remorse for offensive tweets
7:38 PM ET

• ESPN News Services

ATLANTA -- Atlanta Braves pitcher Sean Newcomb says he "regrets" posting a series of offensive tweets that surfaced during his near-no-hitter Sunday afternoon against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The tweets were sent in 2011 and 2012, when Newcomb was a senior in high school. One tweet included a racial epithet that was part of a rap lyric, and several others contained gay slurs.

The 25-year-old Newcomb spoke after he came within one strike of pitching a no-hitter in a 4-1 Atlanta victory. Newcomb said he saw mentions of the tweets on his phone and that it was his idea for a Braves official to bring reporters back into the locker room so he could address the subject.

"This is something that obviously can't be happening. I feel bad about it. I don't mean to offend anybody. I definitely regret it," he said, according to USA Today.

Newcomb added that he "meant nothing by it. I didn't mean to offend anybody and I'll make sure it doesn't happen again."

Major League Baseball said it is aware of the situation and will have Newcomb take part in diversity training. The Braves also issued a statement on Twitter.

"We are aware of the tweets that surfaced after today's game and have spoken to Sean who is incredibly remorseful," the statement read. "Regardless of how long ago he posted them, he is aware of the insensitivity and is taking full responsibility.

"We find the tweets hurtful and incredibly disappointing and even though he was 18 or 19 years old when posted, it doesn't make them any less tolerable. We will work together with Sean towards mending the wounds created in our community."

Earlier this month, Milwaukee Brewers reliever Josh Hader apologized after offensive tweets from his past came to light on the night he pitched in the All-Star Game. MLB said the 24-year-old Hader will be required to go through sensitivity training and participate in diversity and inclusion initiatives.

Breh said “skinny nikka, big balls” and called somebody the f-word. Dead wrong, but not close to Hader literally tweeting “KKK”. Just wanna slap him upside his head and tell him “don’t say nikka again white boy “ and be done with it

It doesn't feel like as big a deal as what happened with Hader, but it literally just happened. We'll see if this story grows legs this week
