Very unlikely unless he took a team-friendly deal to stay.
I'm sure some AL team (Yankees, Rangers, Red Sox) to name a few will offer him more than we could.
I'd do 3 years, 8-10 million in AAV but unlikely he'd accept that.
If mac woukd go three years id pay 15. That fourth or fifth year is 2hat worries me. I think he'll have a five year deal on the table if he test FA. If the arod story is true the Yankees will throw moneh at Mac.
I think the market will be 4 years for 15M/year. Might be a little higher. Might be a little lower. Do you sign him for that?

Mac may be willing to sign to keep us competitive. If there's a player on this team who I think would be kept for a deal it would be him. Georgia native, Gamily in the area, wife in the area, presumably wife's family is from the area, area charities, so on so forth. He may choose to leave but I don't think he'll demand top dollar like Druw after 2007.
They might regardless.
Their C situation is absolutely awful.
They also have Pettitte, Kuroda, Granger, Mo, possibly Jeter i think and others deals expiring.
But they also gotta pay the bank for Cano.
Mac would rake in that park, and others in the AL.
I expect some AL team to offer him a bigger deal than we could.
Braves don't usually pay 8+ million for a reliever, even closers. But I do think they just keep going with his arby years.
