    Dickerson DFA’d

    Dude is under 30 and was worth 2.6 WAR last year. Confusing move, hope we pick him up.

    I'm not a huge fan of Dickerson, but he would obviously be an upgrade to our roster. Would guess the Rays feel like they'll be able to trade him (or already have a trade in hand) if they are designating him.

    They have to have a trade lined up. No way are they cutting an all star hitter over six million. No way.

    His wikipedia page says he is heading to the Mets. Not exactly reliable

    SS Jermaine Palacios is going to TB as part of the trade. No other details just yet

    If we're interested at all, It's definitely the perfect time to go after Archer.

    Rays trade Odorizzi a couple hours after dropping Dickerson to make room for Cron. Seems like an odd series of moves.

    Average or better defender in LF. Average bat. Can the Braves afford $6M?

    He would upgrade the roster, but I wouldn’t give up anything of any value for him.

    Morosi just tweeted Braves are trying to add an OF and could be a match for Dickerson.

    Wonder just how bad his average defense really is. 1/3 of those games last year were as a DH. Granted they've got Mallex, but you still have to wonder how much they were "hiding" him.

    Would still love to take a shot at him as long as the cost is reasonable since he'd allow you to game Acuna's clock as long as you wanted, but I can't imagine AA intends to add another bat-only guy and a repeat of Markakis/Kemp flanking Ender for long at all.
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    Morosi- #Braves are trying to add an outfielder, source confirms, and could be a suitor for Corey Dickerson. He grew up in Mississippi, where the Braves are the most popular @MLB team. @MLBNetwork

    We would have to trade for him.. isn't the waiver system the AL gets the first crack.. I wouldn't think he would make it past all those teams..

    When a team DFAs a player they have 10 days to place him on waivers, trade him, or put him back on the roster.

    I don’t think they have placed him on waivers yet, so they can trade him to whomever they want. Or they could just put him back on the roster in place of Odorizzi.

    The $6M Dickerson is owed probably lines up with what the Braves can afford. He makes some sense if he can be had for a very little prospect capital.

    ETA: I didn’t realize he bats LHed. Maybe he isn’t quite the fit I thought he was.

    He'd probably be in a trade, i'm down if the prospect package wouldnt be much.
