Nimmo was close to being a Hog as well. Van Horn found him out west, playing ball in an area with no HS ball, and signed him. Thought he would be able to keep him hidden, but the damned dirty Mets found him. Clearly he wasn't of high enough character to play for the Razorbacks given that decision.

What is so difficult to decipher? AA has limited money at the moment. Less than $10M away from luxury tax. He, unfortunately also, has limited trade chips.

Hopefully by the end of next week, there is at least some movement on the free agent front and we have some clarity heading into the rest of the off season.
Braves likely only make a few moves outside of the SS position decision so I wasn't expecting a roster overhaul this winter anyway.
Get off my lawn!

They’ve never done what they are doing right now and that’s spend like crazy and lock up all the young talent. The best writers for the Braves have 0 clue what AA is doing. He doesn’t tell them anything. This is all a guessing game but what’s been happening tells you AA has money to spend.

Remember last year when DOB said we only had like 5 million left to spend. Then literally the next day, they signed Jansen for 15.
I trolled DOB on twitter about it for weeks.

Disney bought the last 15% of MLBAM tech that they didn’t own from MLB last month for $900,000,000. So every team was basically given an extra $30 million last month.

Passan mentioned on Twitter that executives expect things to pick up exponentially during the Winter Meetings next week.
