    Gomes seems like such a Braves target

    Gomes should be essentially free in a trade.

    Yeah, he definitely isn't the ideal target. But if the front office plans to spread our resources around more thoroughly, grabbing him for cheap might make some amount of sense.

    Unless they've decided they'd rather save money and give less to Happ since long-term deals for Pitchers are such bad investments. The difference between Corbin and Happ's asking prices could be handed to Machado after all.

    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?

The point still stands that there was SOMETHING that caused AA to pass, because topping that offer wouldn't have caused a ripple in the pond from the Braves' perspective.

    Maybe the Mariners approached Paxton the way the Marlins have Realmuto - and said they weren't making a deal unless they got your "best prospect" or "best pitching prospect" as part of the deal, and AA decided Anderson or Wright was simply too much to pay if he had to add other pieces on top of one of them. Maybe he wants to float those types of pieces in an offer for Syndergaard. Who knows??? We're not likely going to ever find out the real reason he didn't pull the trigger.

    Agreed. If we go the Gomes route it should be to acquire a pitcher like Carrasco with less prospect capital. You’d also have to go big on a corner OF then.

    Passing on Zuk at that contract means you need a clear upgrade IMO. I’d rather pass on Gomes.

    For some reason I get the feeling we might be one of the teams in on Sonny Gray. I don't like the probably $9+ million salary he'll get in arbitration or the fact that he's been a pretty mediocre pitcher the past couple years. But on the upside he wouldn't cost much in terms of prospects and is a guy that there's a chance of catching lightning in a bottle with. I wouldn't do it but I think the Braves have always liked Gray.

    I sure hope not. I don't think it would make much sense. Only one year of control, and we've got young guys who can produce at least similar, if not better, numbers to Gray.

    Yankees at the moment are more interested in SP targets than Machado/Harper. If they lure in Corbin and Machado/Harper are still available, who knows what happens then.

    We need one of the first 3, Gomes wouldnt be a bad Plan B though. It doesnt look like Miami wants to trade Realmuto within the division which is stupid but whatever.

    Will say kinda surprised Nats and got Suzuki this early, i thought they'd be big players for Grandal as well as Ramos. One less suitor out there.

    I don't think Suzuki takes them completely out of the market. Kurt is a backup catcher.

    Would be super dumb. We already did a dumb thing by bringing in Gausman to a crowded rotation. Getting another "ho-hum" rotation arm would be a waste of resources.

    I agree he is, but Nats still need a 2B, bullpen help, as well as a SP, maybe another outfielder assuming Harper is gone, i think they get Keuchel.

    How was Gausman a dumb move, he was fantastic down the stretch and didnt even cost a top 10 prospect from us.

    wasn't dumb at all. we didn't have a crowded rotation at the time. we didn't have effective starters.

    MLB pipeline has Sheffield at #31, in between Soroka (#20) and Anderson (#34)

    BA in September had Sheffield at #22, in between Soroka (#17) and Anderson (#35)

    FG is a little out of step, rating Sheffield at a FV of 50, versus 55 for Soroka and Anderson. Doesn't mean they are wrong, although my view aligns more with the MLB pipeline and BA view. Of course, the unknowable is how the M's front office rate the 3.
