@JimDuquetteGM and @JimBowdenGM on Alex Anthopoulos's multi-year extension with the #Braves:
They speculate that the deal is somewhere between 50-70 million but since the Braves are a publicly traded company it will eventually be disclosed

Glad it got done. Interesting he signed through 31 when some of these contracts expire (Fried, Acuna, Albies). Although i think he gives Acuna a whopper to keep him a lifetime Brave. I can see him let Albies walk, and hope someone like Perdomo eventually replaces him (too early for that).

Well, i dont know if you can let Ozzie, Acuna, Fried, as well as Dansby/Freddie walk. I think he'll pay at least one of them. Acuna would seem like the best bet even though it'll cost a ton of ****ing money. Would think that deal would depend on the years more than the annual salary.

Albies worries me long term. Not entirely sure I want another long term deal for him. I would try locking up Acuna again after next year. I dont know if we can or will make a run at Soto next year but I would go a little extra hard on him if it made Acuna more willing to sign a new extension knowing his BFF was going to be here long term.

They have a ****load of money to spend next year and not a lot of places to spend it. I don't see them spending 60+ million on SP.

Obviously I think any big time FA requiring a long term deal is not likely. The SS market doesnt look good to me next year, not a big fan of Wily Adams whose main asset is his defense which should be declining in the years we would sign him. I dont think we will be the top bidder for Soto but we are uniquely positioned as a top contender and have his BFF Acuna. If we were going to go big on any FA I think having a 27 year old Acuna and 26 year old Soto entering their prime years is a tempting proposition. Personally I just like the idea that it would piss off both Yankee fans and Nats fans.
