    Braves Sign Will Smith

    3 years/$39 million

    Sadly, this one doesn’t have a clone.

    Surprised. To put it mildly.

    Makes me think we'll go cheap at 2 of the 5 spots in the rotation.

    Fun fact: the Yankees signed Zach Britton to an almost identical contract last year.

    Yeah. This says he wants to build a dominant....hopefully... bullpen and stay in house with our rotation for now. We might see some bullpen type games next year too.

    I’m not in the least upset about this. Solid deal for an elite arm. Yes please.

    Is this a sign that we recoup that draft pick by letting JD walk?

    I doubt it means anything regarding JD. They wanted to upgrade the back end of the pen and used a third highest pick to do it.

    I guess AA figures if we have our bullpen situation more settled in to start the year it'll be better.

    Melancon and Greene gone after next season. So at least keeping Smith brings stability for when they leave.

    The price is below market. Georgia guy coming home. Smith is definitely better than Britton. And 2 years ago Wade Davis landed a bigger deal.

    I think its a good deal, but not sure if it makes sense for us with obvious holes elsewhere, unless payroll is getting a boost

    It's a market-deal in the spot where the market is at it's absolute most moronic. I don't hate it, but I sure don't like it.

    Value is value.

    I think this leaves us room to sign a third baseman. Which means going cheap catcher and two spots in the rotation.

    Unless we trade someone who is still young and cheap. Say Matt Boyd for the rotation.

    I think it's below market when you look at guys like Wade Davis and Zach Britton, who are both inferior to Smith.
