    I actually saw Connor Joe back in May. Wasn't paying the best attention as I'd consumed two 32 oz beers in the first inning (it was 7-5 after 1, so it took a while, lol), but I remember being impressed with him. Ripped a double in the game.

    After 9 innings, somebody else was ripped too!

    Hearing now that Rodriguez was claimed by the Pirates when the Braves moved him through waivers. Braves immediately informed the Pirates that he was theirs, lock stock and $$$.

    So what does that mean for Joe? Would there even have to be a trade in that case?

    So between the Garcia and Rodriguez trades the Braves have cleaned about $12.5MM in commitments off the books (~$7.5MM due this season).

    apparently bonuses for the front office the past three years were pretty skimpy due to failure to make budget...they want to avoid a fourpeat

    Really doesn't matter. He will be sent to AA or A+ and be platooned until we cut him or he shows us something. He is just a name attached to a salary dump trade.

    I completely disagree. I look at it like flipping a house. You made an investment, so you work on it to approve the appeal and flip it.

    Yes, of course everyone knows it's a salary dump
