    Agreed. If Machado is at or below 200 million then Atlanta should no doubt give it to him.

    Isn't Machado the godfather of one of Muk's children. If we sign him, it'll improve the chances of re-signing Muk.

    I really don't like the idea of Machado at short, but the bench becomes pretty good with both Dansby and Camargo on it.

    FWIW, if the payroll number can be slightly higher than we expect - say $130 million - keeping the Catcher tandem as is, trading for Pederson, and signing Kimbrel to a 1 year/$15 million pillow deal puts Opening Day salaries right at $130 million.

    Would they go that far since tons of money would come off the books next winter? Who knows???

    *amn, something needs to happen so we can stop talking about Harper Machado, and Kimbrel!!!

    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?

    Only a subset of posters are talking about Harper, Machado and Kimbrel as if they are realistic options.

    I won’t comment on the mental capacity of that subset.

    would it be unkind to call them the sub subset

    I call them “aggressively ignorant”, a personality type that is becoming more and more in style nowadays. As long as you are proud and loud, it doesn’t matter how dumb you are.

    2:31 Zobrist in RF for the Braves next year make sense? What’s the cost?
    Tim Dierkes
    2:32 It does, if the Braves are fine with the type of defense you'd expect from a 38-year-old. Sadly for Cubs fans, if someone took all 12 mil, I think the requirement in players would be a low bar.

    I've said it already, but I'd love Zobrist. That all being said, I'm just so tired of rumors. AA needs to make a damn move. lol

    If AA gets a platoon for the outfield or Markakis is back, this offseason is a huge fail. Braves had some money to play with, have arguably the best farm system in baseball, theres no excuse to settle for a platoon.

    Peraza SS, Gennett 2B, Votto 1B, Suarez 3B, Puig RF, Winkler CF, Kemp LF, Barnhart C is a nice lineup! That rotation is still very much so putrid.

    They've got to pray that two of the Cubs, Brewers, Cards and Pirates (most likely) underachieve to make any noise.

    Extension is 3/30 with an option for 12 million, pretty reasonable.

    Gray, Roark, Wood, Castillo, 5th guy isnt putrid, it's average, but weird to going all in with the Central being a beast.

    Nope being flipped here for a PTBNL. Cashman just wouldn’t deal direct with AA.

    Passan: The Sonny Gray deal may turn out to be a three-way trade, league sources tell ESPN. Seattle is sending center field prospect Josh Stowers to the Yankees, sources said, and Shed Long is expected to go to the Mariners.
