Hearing from person connected to Royals that #Braves could be making a run at Santana.
I would not want to give up a first round pick unless its a multiple year deal.

Wish we would've done this when we weren't so obviously desperate. Going to have to give him a two or three year deal to make it work, I imagine. Either way, I am glad they are no longer ignoring the problem.

If the Braves are willing to sacrifice that pick (shudder), I would say there is a strong possibility of a match here given Santana's preference for a one-year deal to boost value.
Apparently the Orioles and Blue Jays offered $13MM.
I bet the Braves could come in between $10-11MM, maybe lower if incentives are bundled in.
Well, I guess you could hope that Santana has a great year and then earns another first round pick in the offseason.

Why would somene in the royals organzation know what the braves are doing?
Also it is taking all my patience not to insult the debbie downers cheering these injuries as if any of this other than beachy was predictable.

Please don't act like Beachy potentially getting hurt again is a surprise. Medlen has had surgery as well. Minor has been healthy for the most part in his career, but the other two have a history of dealing with these ailments. Not too mention Gavin Floyd coming back from the same surgeries as the aforementioned pitchers. Stop me when you detect the pattern...
:blank stare:
I don't think anyone is cheering about this, or happy at all—especially with its meaning that Medlen's entire career might be in jeopardy—that the Braves are in this position. But, as [MENTION=7]thethe[/MENTION] said in the other thread, the Beachy issues were predictable and the Braves shouldn't have depended on his successfully returning to fill one of the top four spots. Instead, having Beachy as one of the contingency plans, and slotting a better / more reliable starter ahead of him, would have ameliorated a lot of the issues that have arisen with the Minor and Medlen injuries.
