    In retrospect, giving up Hassel/Wood/Gore/Abrams for Soto was crazy. Imagine how good SD would be if they just kept them, but Preller does Preller things.

At this point, he'll be battling it out with Velazquez for a chance at a bench job.

    Braves did not choose or lose anyone in the Major League Phase of the Rule 5 draft.

    Braves did not lose anyone in the Minor League Phase, but did draft 27-year-old LHP Tyler Thomas from the Mets' system. Thomas was the Cubs' 7th round draft pick out of Fresno State in 2017. Traded by the Cubs to the Rangers for (wait for it) Jesse Chavez. Thomas was in the Texas system until 2023. Started the 2023 season in Independent League ball and later signed with the Mets and finished the year in AAA. Played in the Arizona Fall League. Good K numbers (304 in 270.2 IP).

    Ohtani will take up two roster spots as a pitcher and as a DH.

    How would you have felt, and how would it have affected your life, if his name had actually been Burman Fisher?

    Morosi:

    Source: Eduardo Rodríguez and the DBacks have had advanced discussions about a multiyear contract.

    A deal is not finalized, but the NL champions are among the finalists to sign him.

    What level of melt will this board hit when the braves don't add another starter?

    About the same as when they didn’t add a shortstop or LF last year.

    It's wild that we were close to having that meltdown happen again if he didn't acquire Kelenic.

    We still have the deepest lineup in baseball even if we were trotting Grissom out there.

    Apparently Cincinnati and Arizona are the 2 finalists for Eduardo Rodriguez.

    Seattle want to clear payroll to let the Yankees get Juan Soto and maybe the Blue Jays Ohtani! 🤣

    Rosenthal corrected the report, the Reds are not a finalist. Arizona is, though.

    I'm surprised they didn't get Soto sooner. How do the Yankees not make sure Babe Ruth's godfather played for them?
