Any chance Grandal sign a 2 year deal for around 35 million?
What chance do posters here really give JD coming back? Or Moustakas for that matter?
Keep seeing different things about us making a huge dumb trade for Betts.
Like Pache +!Mueller + Wright.
Seems absurd to me.
Thoughts ?
Just my opinion: That package would be better served with the 18 years of potential to Braves than 1 year of Betts. Also, if Braves were willing to and in position to pay $30M to any player why not someone like Cole, Strasburg or Rendon?

If we trade for Betts then I quit.
Coppy
2/40 might be realistic if Grandal truly prefers high AAV over longer deals with more guaranteed cash.
Having said that, AA just gave 3 years to a BP arm in his 30s, so all my talk about him not giving a catcher 3-4 years is probably complete garbage at this point. The Will Smith deal is so completely out of character compared to everything AA has done with the Braves that I have no idea what types of moves he may make.

Maybe. But if the Smith signing is a sign of increased payroll and pushing a few chips in, wouldn't Moose for 2/$20 million and Grandal for 2/$40 million make more sense than Donaldson for 3/$75 million???
Take two legitimate shots at it while you still control Freddie. If you have to start another rebuild at that point (2022), you could do it really quickly - all that money will come off the books and Soroka and Fried would have two years of control left if you were looking to cash them in.
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?
Enscheff you have any idea how much money we should have left for the rest of the offseason?
What's the projection on Rendon for AAV? I'm wondering if that's the gameplan here.

Sign Rendon
Pache start season at CF, Acuna RF, Duvall/Markakis/Riley platoon LF until Waters is ready
Would leave C as the weakness and SP a question mark but would have a young legit offensive and defensive team with assets to trade for your catcher and SP without it hurting too much with future. Idk.
