Took the best team in baseball to 7. It's working fine.

I’ll hold off on celebrating too much until it’s actually done, but I’m encouraged by the EO directing the DOJ to end private prison contracts.

I truly believe that how we go into the season has only a little to do with how we will look six weeks later. Service time issues, available waived...

i'd argue he's already extended the contention window precisely because he's stayed out of long-term deals that almost always feature overpyaments in...

I think you have AA’s strategy pretty well nailed. Eventually one of these bats will bite because there won’t be enough 4+ year deals for all of...

This is a real concern for me. I get GMs are judged by value deals, but we need to win. I am not for doing something crazy or irresponsible to the...

i'm going to say no, it's absolutely not. the disaster chances are far, far too high. i'd call them likely, actually.

It was fun while it lasted, but yeah...I wasn’t holding my breath. We are pretty solid at catcher anyway.

I really wonder if going into the season with a starting outfield of Acuna-Pache-Inciarte is considered a legitimate option.

i don't think the Braves were ever actually serious contenders for JTR. so i don't see this as a big deal.

Hopefully AA's dedication to not signing a potentially bad contract doesn't end up costing us the years we have albies and Acuna in great contracts.

Same. Terrible idea. If they do want extended playoffs they need to shorten the regular season... which we know they won't do.

I don't think JTR was ever a real impact bat for Atlanta since his offensive output was essentially less than d'Arnaud, he was more of an overall...

Wonder what we offered? Probably 2/50. Impact bats are getting fewer and fewer in the open market.

The Philadelphia Phillies and JT Realmuto are in agreement on a 5 year $115.5 million dollar contract. Pending physical. Per source.

The Phillies have signed JTR to a 5-year, $115.5M dollar contract, per Mish.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but those deals have all been for players making real money. No a ton of surplus value. Teams wanting to shed money. ...

The old pu-pu platter. I feel like the Braves disposable assets are: Riley, Wright, Touki, Wilson. Waters, Langeliers or Contreras,...

That’s basically what the Padres trades have been....not that there were not any good players moved, but defiantly quantity over quality.

I really want the strapped for cash deal. I was hoping we would be the advantage of ppl dumping money, not just the mets and padres. If the As...

Just to clarify, Ramirez contract is for this year, plus a team option for next year and the following year. It's actually $9.4 million for 2021, and...

If that is the case, sign me up.

If the Braves are getting 5+ wins from 3b for $5M, they can afford to add at LF and DH. It would be shocking to see AA pull off a trade for an MVP...

The Indians have targeted MLB players in return for both Lindor and Clevinger. They are clearly trying to rebuild on the fly. So guys like Riley,...

This is also the reason a Chapman deal would probably make the most sense AND possibly be the easiest to swallow since Oakland loves all those...

Great analysis. The main issue with trading Riley though is it just creates another hole. Ramirez would obviously be a big upgrade over Riley, but he...

i don't think they will either. i'm only pointing out that that's what it would likely take to get JR. it would be very tough to make up his value...
