    Even if that 1/18 deal had to be locked in at the start of the off season and eliminated you from even evaluating the other cOF options?

    I’m going to guess Markakis will be a lot cheaper than 2/30 in January. He will be Plan C for a lot of teams, including the Braves.

    In terms of free agent options, I prefer not to dabble in the markets for Harper and Pollock. But I would ask about a couple players on the trade market, Joc Pederson, Max Kepler and Ian Happ come to mind, before making a decision on giving Muk a qualifying offer.

    I am really liking the Gausman trade so far, I was afraid we'd pay a lot for Archer. When in my view Gausman made more sense all things considered. I also thought we might end up with Sonny Gray at one point. It looks like we dodged two bullets and ended up getting a great deal done.

    if we trade for an outfielder version of gausman this offseason that would be great...someone w 2-4 years of control left who doesnt cost too much in terms of prospects...that's the model...guys like Pederson, Happ and Kepler...non-elite players w some upside

    I’m not sure. It’s not an especially appealing clas beyond the top three. Lot of guys you could overpay for four years.

    The best players on market are Harper and Pollock. Harper should cost a fortune but might be worth it.

    Pollock should cost a lesser fortune and probably won’t be.

    I’d rather have Markakis for one year overpay than commit to 20 million for five years on pollock.
