Seeing 7/177.

Thats pretty ridiculous too lol.

[bravesfanMatt]

Guess we signed a draft pic this off season.

Like I said we are done except for fluff signings.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Seeing 7/177.

Me as well. No trade clause as well

[Heyward]

7/177 per Kiley, yeah im good on that one. Good luck, Bae.

[KayJay]

Thats pretty ridiculous too lol.

Agreed but better than what I saw:

SOURCE: Dansby Swanson and the Chicago Cubs have agreed to an 8 year 210-230 million dollar deal. The Royal Family of Chicago is happening. Please credit @JeffPassan @Ken_Rosenthal @JonHeyman @jonmorosi

I'm glad AA passed on that. Good luck to Dansby.

[bravesfanforlife88]

Hate losing Dansby. But 7 years / $177m after he told the Braves he'd sign a 6 year / $140m earlier is pretty telling of the market.

[CrimsonCowboy]

No opt outs either.

[zbhargrove]

That’s a big NO for me. Way too much for a guy that close to 30 with only one elite year

[Hudson2]

Yeah I’m good on not going 7 years for Swanson. I’ll miss seeing him play but the Cubs aren’t ready to contend.

[UNCBlue012]

Good for Big Dick Dansby! I’ll miss him but I’m happy to pass on that

[CrimsonCowboy]

So……..now what?

[VirginiaBrave]

That's not that unreasonable

[Heyward]

That's not that unreasonable

He has one really good year. And his bad hitting streaks are awful. Plus alot of his value is tied up in defense, i cannot blame AA on this one. Hopefully he does something with Swanson gone now.

[Russ2dollas]

Don’t mind losing dansby. Did not think he was worth fa prices.

I am worried that Grissom isn’t able to handle it defensively.

I will be upset if they do not upgrade lf and or dh given the punt on ss.

If we sign a 2 war free agent ss you’ll have to explain that to me. Like our old friend Elvis…no thank you

I wouldnt mind Andrus on a 1 year deal.

[zbhargrove]

That's not that unreasonable

Lol okay.

[CrimsonCowboy]

That's not that unreasonable

Kind of is, yes

[zbhargrove]

I can’t fault AA for not paying these prices but man we need an upgrade at SS and LF somehow. Crazy that Turner seems like “the good deal”

[Chico]

Ok, let’s move on now. Pull the trigger AA.

[CrimsonCowboy]

I think Vaughn will be good with the bat. We’ve seen what he’s capable of and as young as he is, good chance for improvement. I am a bit worried about the defensive drop off. But the fact he’s been working with Ron Washington on that is a good thing.
