This market is absolutely brutal.

The only good thing about it is that when the ice eventually does break, AA should have a legitimate shot at scooping up a couple guys who honestly have a shot at improving the team in 2018 as everyone starts to scramble. The only guys from the Nunez, Kendrick, Maybin, Tony Watson, Dat Dude, Granderson, Jon Jay crowd that have been linked (at all, more or less) to ANYBODY are Watson and Kendrick - and the links with them have only been loose ones.

While adding any of those won't be earth-shattering adds by any means, they stand a good chance to make the Braves better as stopgaps - and if AA can land a couple of them the 2018 team will be a *elluva lot more interesting than the last couple of years.
