This is actually the Braves Way. Trade your quality for quantity and try to make the playoffs with whatever mediocre/solid players that come from that. Winning it all isn't the goal or we would of found a way to keep our best hitter and our best player no matter the financial cost.
All you need is Hart and Cox.
I want Moncada as much as the next guy, but we have to realize it's unlikely. We will probably be outbid if we even make a run at him.
Hart's quote seems to indicate that we're managing to the international budget and not planning to exceed the max. Now, I think they'd be okay exceeding the max if they could get Moncada, but this indicates that they are not assuming that's how this will end up.

Hart says they will look at the pen & rotation. “We’ll look at both free agents & have ongoing trade talks. We’re not finished” #Braves

Melvin plus 15M for Edwin Jackson. Gets us a fifth starter. Frees up 16m of payroll for 2017.

Yeah, but then we have to watch Edwin Jackson pitch.
The main point is to pay forward the last year of his contract.
