    At this point I think you have to keep Heyward. Hopefully the Braves continue to increase profits along with MLB and then can offer a big deal to Jason.

    Obvious, any trade made would require a significant piece in return since Heyward has 2 years remaining. Ideally, maybe a guy that is young and cost controlled OFer as well as a couple prospects.

    Its pretty clear that he is looking at FA in 2016.

    I think we'll keep one of Jason or Justin, but not both. But I don't see either being moved this season.

    I wouldn't be surprised to see both Jason and Justin go to free agency. We would bid on keeping one of them. After 2015, those two plus Medlen and Uggla are scheduled to hit free agency, so we'll have some money to spend.

    I think the fact that his good buddy is here for 8 more years might change his mind a bit and of course as long as the Braves pony up some dough.

    Agreed.

    Wren has protected this kid from trades since the day we drafted him. He is really special and I like the $$$ figures they signed him for. Not a lot that could hurt us until the later years of this deal if things don't pan out.

    Let's get Simba and Minor signed up.

    Is this a John Hart influence?

    Remember they tried to change his mechanics to preserve him long term but they reverted back to his old mechanics.
    Odds are he will have TJ surgery but by the time Teheran is making serious money both BJ and Uggla will be gone. Having just 9-11 million in dead weight in one year doesnt seem so bad when we currently have 30 million of dead weight on the payroll.

    That point was brought up on MLB Network, too, after the Freeman extension.

    Damn you Frank Wren...another one of those ****ty offseasons where you haven't accomplished a thing...you should be fired.

    Haven't I heard that somewhere around here???

    A little early, especially after Teheran's first real stressful (arm) season. Hope it works out well.

    That the Braves have worked on an extension for some time now and the only thing that could be agreed upon is that they would buy out arby years. That fact that other guys that are further behind him have signed extensions.

    Wren said the Teheran contract was done a week ago but that they had to wait for Teheran to get to the United States and pass his physical. He also said the Braves had “identified” other young players as core guys they hope to sign to long-term contracts. Wren wouldn’t name the others, but suffice to say that shortstop Andrelton Simmons is likely at the top of the list.

    Key word - "others".

    Its time to float Heywards name out there and gauge the interest.
    Not yet, wait after next season.

    If he still wont sign an extension, shop him.

    So with the option it's a 7-year deal for 44 million.

    Thats pretty good.

    And yeah, Minor would of been much more expensive.

    I would guess they try to extend Simmons next.

    Heyward is probably the hardest to sign given he's closer to FA of the others.

    This was brought up on MLBN and MLBTR.

    I think so.

    They've done the same with Texas and Cle when he was there.

    Disagree that it's too early. I think he'll prove much more of a bargain over the long haul while buying out two years of his FA. This can't be viewed negatively. Or can it?
