Fixing the Braves

[TheBravos]

Another Braves forum is making a bit of noise attributed to a twitter account associated with the Athletic. Saying a move is going on to bring Donaldson back to Atlanta. Wonder if 50 Pound knows anything

Would be a horrible move.

Lmao. I’ve joked around about that, but it makes no sense from a money and commitment standpoint.

Which Brave forum?

Funny. His xWOBA is in line with what he's done the majority of his career since he broke out.

Twins would need to eat a ton of money.

that is addressed along with Ender et al going the other way. Im just sharing not advocating or even think it is realistic.

Let Ender’s contract expire after this year and stay away from Donaldson’s albatross contract

Yep. If he had, say, another year left on his deal, I’d gladly take the risk. But I believe he has another 3 years after this. No thanks.

Well, I know some things, but not much about the Twins. Donaldson was injured at the beginning of the season and has kind of been inconsistent since returning. He was really scorching the first ten days of June and has hit 5 HRs this month. He's owed $50 MM after this season (approximately $21 MM in 2022 and 2023 with at least an $8 MM buyout for 2024) and I find it hard to believe the Braves would spring for a considerable chunk of that.

Twins have really sucked this season and there's talk of everybody with an expiring contract (Pineda, Simmons, Cruz, Shoemaker, Robles, Happ) being moved, but I haven't heard anything about Donaldson (not that I've been listening that closely).

2024 is a club option with an 8 million buyout

Looks like someone is promoting another board.

2023 will be his age 37 season though.

[jsebe10]

I’d take Tatis any day of the week.

I mean yeah there is a reason we didn't commit to him for that long. I wouldn't want him unless the Twins eat a lot of it

Hardly. But I certainly will not be promoting this one with your input constantly challenging the English language.

He's not. I asked him where he saw the rumor.

[jsebe10]

Meaningless out from Ender…Acuna pop out

Twins are stuck in no-man's land just like the Braves are.
