This isn't anything new. They have likely around 10-15 million remaining and spending more than half of it on one player isn't too smart unless it's a complete bargain.

    "it's believed they have less than $10 million to spend"

    So...is the Braves payroll going down in 2018 as I predicted months ago? Or do you have another excuse?

    #Braves expect to make a "small, depth-type move" to add a position player in next 24 hours. Anthopoulos stressed it would be a depth move.

    My guess it won't be anyone we have discussed in any deapth.

    So you think AA is going to sign a AAAA player just to play in AAA?

    Getting a feeling there might be some really surprising news in the not too distant future.
    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?

    He’d have to agree to a really low salary the first year. But his options are basically nill

    I’m holding out hope they can get him at a bargain rate too. Somewhere around 4/50 broken down as 5/15/15/15 would be fantastic value.

    Absolutely. He's definitely not worth an overpay, but he's a really good option if the deal is right.

    I think it's more likely Moose agrees to a 1 or 2 year deal in the 15 million dollar range and tries to test FA again the following offseason. Or may be he signs and gets and opt out clause. He has basically no suitors at this time. I'm still not sure why the Orioles don't sign him let him split time with Beckham and DH. Then have Beckham shift to SS in 2019 when Machado leaves.

    That would be an awesome deal and would set us up big time going into next offseason. We would have the pieces to trade for an ace or Lf no doubt and the money to fill any hole we have.
