The Braves WON'T get a pick in the 30s if/when Donaldson signs elsewhere - that pick will come in the 70s. Tougher to make the argument against signing a QO free-agent if AA feels the window really is open and he wants to win with the current group. Losing a pick (and the accompanying pool money) isn't ideal, but given the relative few holes to fill it's not as bad a proposition as some make it out to be - the only team gaining a pick at the end of the 1st round will be the Twins if someone gives Odorizzi more than $50 million.
