Catcher was always going to be the trickiest need to fill given the thin FA crop and general positional scarcity. Now the FO can be patient and buy and trade based on value.
3M base per Heyman.
Dang, pretty nice value! Iannetta reportedly close w/ Mariners. Will be interested to see what that price tag was.Originally Posted by nsacpi
3 million isn't bad.

Not at all. Hopefully we hold on to Bethancourt.
Sure doesn't sound like Bethancourt is in the plans.

I still would of liked to see Bethancourt get all the playing time last year after the break. We had nothing lose from it. At 3 million he could be a good bench piece to if a better catcher is brought in.
Exactly. So I will retort and say that this is meh. I expected it and it still sucks. There. The bitchiness continues.
Likely got the best value signing out there all things considered, but a low price tag made this a no brainer for the brass I bet.

Good signing. Better option than anything that the Braves could have realistically gotten.

I think the bitchness exists because people want to win...I know football is in full effect but let's not forget how painful last season was.

+10000...last year was extremely difficult for Braves fans, losses like we haven't seen in years and trades that split the fan base.
AJ was solid last year, but from discussions here, I think many hoped for a potential upgrade at C. I'm an AJP fan, as a backup. All in all, I'm glad he's back and love the price we got him at.
It's awesome to see AJ actually want to come back and take less to do so.
Nonetheless, he's need to be a bench piece and we sign a full-time guy.
Braves prepping him to replace Fredi in 2017.
Then people will be happy because he'll go out and get thrown out like Bowa.
Forever Fredi
@jonahkeri: Source: #Braves trade talks with NL West team revolve around Andrelton Simmons.
Jesus, no!
Simmons for Arenado? Sign me up now.
Sounds like the Mich Ultras are on AJ!
