Wow at that Toscana signing! Guess everyone can stfu about international free agent pool money the Braves have since that doesn't exactly work for them. Amazing the complete dismissal of adding offense continues with this organization.

Curious on how much $$ we are sending and who the PTBNL is.
Not saying this would EVER happen because it would destroy our relationship with trainers/handlers.
But hypothetically would it be possible to use one of the upcoming J2 signings as a PTBNL in a deal?? Is there a restriction to how soon those players can be dealt after signing?
When I watched the Ms Braves play the Shuckers I spotted Toscano's jersey and was like "AHA!!! so he IS real!"

Good deal for both sides. GREAT timing for the Braves, knowing that Norris is a ticking time bomb of mediocrity.

With Norris + Toscano, the Dodgers are taking on ~$5m in salary, with ~$2m of that being 2016 salary. I'd be very pleased if the Braves are just sending $2m and effectively clearing the books of the future commitment to Toscano.

Toscano was a good soldier for us, I think. I've never seen him or have proof that he exists, but a good soldier nonetheless.

Pfeifer and Dirks don't appear to be anything more than middle-relief prospects, albeit decent ones. I like Akeel Morris from the KJ trade a fair amount more than either of these guys. Seems like a fair trade for both sides assuming the Braves are clearing some future $.

Looks like the Braves are stacking the middle relief options with these trades.
I think Gant and Whalen both end there. And all the trades made in-season look to be that.
Haha
