260 million for Arenado. Rox continue to waste money. I love Arenado, but he'll be 29 next year.

Paul Crane knows absolutely nothing. Complete fraud.
He was going around saying the Yankees were close with Harper/Machado before Machado signed with the Padres, and the Yanks clearly aren't a front runner for Harper.
If you or I started a Twitter right now, we could say the same **** and accrue followers. Social media is in many ways the worst.
I bet the Braves or any team would be happy to sign that deal for Teheran even if he's going to be underpaid in is final season. It's not some kind of albatross or anything. The only issue is the Braves should have traded him when they decided to rebuild. Since the Braves aren't rebuilding it makes no sense to Trade Enter right now when he is a 3 WAR player and super cheap. Like Teheran his contract will never be an issue.
They guaranteed control years in exchange for 12m this year and option for next.
They’ve derived no benefit from the deal because the extra year is above market and the braves will buy out the option.
No way of looking at it other than it was a bad decision.
He certainly should have been traded when people were saying things like the extra control makes him an even better asset. It probably didn’t but there was a point where the braves could have gotten something for him rather than have to pay to get rid of him.
He’d sign for something under 6m if he was FA.

Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

Considering the projections had Markakis getting an AAV of $8-$10 million, the savings from his deal combined with the "overpay" if a similar SP to Julio came for the $6 million previously mentioned their monies are roughly a wash - Julio's probably not the reason we got Nick rather than Brantley.
