Are we really over 200 million in payroll?

By all ways payroll is measured the Braves are already roughly "Top 5" before they even fill the hole at SS. It is very possible they are close to tapped out and Morton got the cash they offered Swanson earlier.
Or AA has another $30M to spend. I really have no idea with the current finances of the Braves.

Dodgers meeting with Verlander according to Heyman.
Jose Abreu to Houston

Abreu's a great fit for Houston. Im like Scheff, idk how much money we have. Could be broke or could have 30+ M to spend.

I feel like this bodes well for the Crime Dog.
Crime Dog and Murph are both on it.

I have a hard time believing we would have dumped all the remaining money we had on Morton. If the plan has been to punt SS over to Grissom, Arcia, or someone similar, then there should be a heavier emphasis on getting a legitimate everyday LF who we don't have to platoon constantly. Team still needs to fill out the bullpen, too. If we don't do any of these things, it'll be a third-place season with somewhere around 84-86 wins.
we are a 90 win team healthy. Only problem is we don't have a very deep reserve.. or a reserve at all really. I want desperately to get rid of Ozuna and Rosuckio and be able to add good players for that money.. but we might be stuck with what we have and roll with it this next year and make move with money coming off books next.

I think if we just go with what we have, we're in the 90-92 range. Need to make at least one big time move this winter even if it isnt one of the top end shortstops. I refuse to believe AA spent all our remaining funds on Morton. A full year of Harris and Strider will be huge, as well as a healthy year from Acuna.

The problem is we have basically 2 left field players we can’t continue adding if we don’t move one of this contracts. I know AA don’t finish yet.
