Pretty clear we have the money to do what we want, just up to value right now. Dansby isnt worth the deal to AA, and we'll see what he does soon enough.

It may not be in the next few days but these guys want some clarity going into Christmas. Boras Will milk it with Correa so maybe Turner signs firstOriginally Posted by Heyward
I could see Philly make a splash with Turner next week at the Winter Meetings.
It sure sounds like the Braves have money to spend and they just may be pivoting away from Dansby unless there’s truly a perfect deal there. They may not have gotten deGrom but reports seem to indicate there was an intentional effort to land him.
Didn't we hear the same thing about Verlander last year?
a one-year, $25M offer. But only a year. This offer to deGrom was reportedly three years
Sounds like we did try to land DeGrom. Supposedly offered 3 years. Who knows if we'll be in or get any of the top players but money seems to be there somewhat. Think we only offered 1 year for JV.

Since we were after JV last year I wonder if we would be this year too. 2 years would do it probably. I really hope we get one of Turner or Correa. Correa shouldn’t hold out like he did last time and have to settle for a short term deal.
From bowman in his article:
Jacob deGrom and Justin Verlander’s names have been linked to the Braves, but unless some costs are removed from the payroll it seems unlikely Atlanta would bid for either of those aces.
Get off my lawn!
Point being, this wasn't brought out until he'd already signed. Of course we talked to him, but I doubt the thing about three years came from anyone really in the know.
I trust 0 of what Bowman and DOB says. They aren’t in the loop anymore.

No one in the media has any intel with AA. Braves just do a press release once a move is done.
Media could have intel with players' agents or trade partner though
AA seems like the kind if you leak something he’s done with you.
This.
He really does, but that seems dumb... I like the move but since you leaked it, I'll spite myself just to spite you too
Could still be some of that with Casey Close and that’s why the Dansby stuff never happened.
The idea of a 3 way trade between the Braves, Pirates and As makes the interest in Murphy a little more understandable. Murphy to the Pirates, Reynolds to the Braves, prospects to the As.
I don't even know why I do this because there's no chance... but can you imagine adding both Reynolds and Turner or Correa to this lineup?

You surprised they went after deGrom?
