    If we're assuming AA's got ~ $18-$20 million to spend and Brantley's AAV is $18 million, structure his at $12 million/$22 million/$20 million. Would leave him $6 million plus his deadline stash.

    Sign Allen or Soria for 2/$16 million and structure that at $6 million/$10 million.

    Julio's money coming off pays for next year's Closer, and O'Day and Duvall's money pays for the Brantley money you defer until 2020 (at that point Riley and/or Pache will be here to replace Duvall).
    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?

    Rule 5 prediction . . . Braves will trade up. AA said they were looking at a few guys, so not sure he'll want to wait and see if they make it to the 20th pick

    I assume this is sarcasm? It's a little early for me to be interpreting tone.

    Don't know about trading up, but wonder if AA might be eyeing Rusney Castillo.

    Other interesting names to me were Riley Ferrell, Jairo Beras, and Drew Ferguson.

    We've seen targets AA should be in on going by his stated desire to add a cOF, SP and BP arm go for prices that are very close to competent predictions.

    Cutch 3/50
    Morton 2/30
    Happ 2/34 with $17M vesting option
    Familia 3/30

    Instead, he signed Donaldson for 1/23, which is right in line with his projected contract of 1/20.

    So why hasn't AA pulled the trigger on a contract in line with projections at areas of need for anyone other than JD?

    The trade he has lined up better be a real winner or else all improvements from 2018 to 2019 will have to come organically, which may not be the worst idea.

    From MLBTR:

    "The Yankees are asking for “high-end Major League talent” in exchange for Sonny Gray"

    Who exactly do the Yankees think they are trading?

    Braves passed in 1st Round of the Rule V.

    Braves lost no one in the MLB Phase.

    Encarnacion for Santana makes almost no sense to me.

    Does saving that $3 million allow Cleveland to keep all their SPs???

    I think Yandy Diaz is involved!

    That's our boy. Going to the Rays.

    Carlos Santana and Jake Bauers to Cleveland.

    And I guess Seattle gets Encarnacion.

    Guess the Indians will DH Santana, play Kipnis at 2B, Ramirez at 3B, and Bauers in LF for now.

    Rays get Diaz
    Santana to the Indians
    Jake Bauers to the Indians
    EE to the Ms

    Another deal where the Ms try to clear payroll after 2 seasons.

    I like this deal for the Indians and Rays.

    For the M's not so much.

    This is an awful deal for the Mariners unless there is some money going their way.

    They are getting a pick too.

    The Ms seem intent on clearing money in 2 years.
