Well, he'll be 36, 37 and 38 in the next 3 years.
That's not exactly young. And his contract aint cheap. He could decline sharply at any moment, but the way Greinke pitches, i wouldnt bet against him.
And the Braves have added nearly 20-25 mil to payroll since Opening Day, so this isnt near true. And added some money to next years payroll in Greene and Melancon.
Lastly, i said before, Braves and Astros are at different points of their windows. Astros are in the middle of their window, and Miley/Cole are FA's after the year, Brantley next year, Correa in 2 years. They gotta go for it while they got this team. Verlander is still pitching well but who knows when he'll decline. Braves arent quite at that point now.

Yeah guessing they meant prospect cost as opposed to dollars
imagine if AA signed Kimbrel instead of the route he chose. remember how mad people were?

Remember when everyone thought that Theo Epstein was some sort of baseball savant?
It turns out building a winner and maintaining a winner are 2 different skill sets.
Theo undoubtedly did a tremendous job building a winner in 2 different places. It appears he may not be doing a good job maintaining it.
