Apparently, Jesse Franklin was released. I can only assume the Braves need the roster spot because they are making a trade without having to give anyone up.

I'd guess Baldwin and Caminiti are both off limits and they should be.

I don’t think Franklin was on the 40 man.

I like Castillo a lot despite his age. Great command, underrated.

The Braves obviously, are not viewing Baldwin as a prospect, but as a part of the MLB team.
He may not start the season in Atlanta, but they are likely not going to wait long if they can help it.

11 days until pitchers and catchers report. Today would be a very good day for AA to improve the actual big league pitching staff.
I get the feeling we are done this offseason.

My buddy, who's close with an MLB ump (I won't confirm who, but I've met him and it's legit), confirmed that the Braves were confident they had Scott signed and he had verbally committed until he suddenly left for LA. He mentioned the signing bonus was a key factor in that shift. He also said Atlanta is pursuing Cease harder than any other team, though a few others, including the Mets, are also in the mix. He said it would really shocking if they didn't make a trade or sign a good starter within the next two weeks.
I'm also not trolling. I know the guy and he's a legitimate MLB umpire.

I am not saying anything about anything. But why would an ump know anything about the Braves offseason.
Coppy
Why would an umpire have this information lol. I’d believe the ice cream salesman in Section 222 over an umpire. I believe I’ve heard it all now.
Because umpires are ingrained in the environment, they build relationships with front office staff, players, and even agents. It’s a completely normal part of the job. For example, the umpires have a group chat where they discuss these things. The best way to put it is they have their own little network. You know what happens in your workplace, don't you? Welcome to interpersonal communication 101. Either way, it's fairly common that they all stay in touch in the off-season.
And I don't give a damn what y'all think, the guy gives me free tickets to games every year so it's a win-win for me. 🤣🤣
