If you always try to bargain hunt youll miss out on impact players that help you win championships. Id rather have a 6 WAR player with minimal surplus value over 3 2 WAR players with more surplus value. You need high impact players to have a great team and not just bargains.

I think the backup plan is resigning Donaldson. A lot of people here are dreaming about Rendon but those are just dreams. The Braves aren't shopping on the Rendon aisle of free agents.
I really think we will see Donaldson as a Braves for the next 3 years playing on a series of one year high AAV contracts.
