Totally killed?Originally Posted by Super
As in posting a 120 wRC+ and 3 WAR/600 for a perennial World Series contender?
That kind of totally killed?
He may not be the best Plan A, but folks claiming he is some cancer that can’t make the Braves better are being foolish.
Puig continues to make sense in some scenarios.

sarcasm about his "bad personality."
they've been in the WS two years straight. i think he's fine.

Could really see a quick push for Happ now following the McCutchen signing - even if AA has to give the third year. Maybe in that same 3/$50 million range if he'll sign right away.
If the money's not there to also get Brantley, you roll the dice that this takes Philadelphia out of the Harper bidding, and that he signs with the Dodgers. Would leave you with Pederson or CarGo as your corner OF options (to pair with Duvall/Camargo/Riley) unless AA can work out a deal with LA. Start shopping Julio in earnest, and try to upgrade the pen whenever you get him moved..
Pushing Newk to the #4 slot in the rotation (if he's not traded) may be the best way to upgrade things if Brantley gets his $20 million per. Folty, Happ, Gausman, Newk, the kids should give you a puncher's chance if Acuna, Freddie, and Donaldson can stay healthy.

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?
Things just got interesting...
Being reported the Mets are becoming more aggressive on JTR and are focusing on moving Rosario then getting a glove first SS
Get off my lawn!
Definitely - Porcello is only under control for 2019, for $21M, then is a FA. Bradley has 2 years of Arby left, and was a 2 win player last year and has a bit of speed.
Mets GM, "Trade me JTR or I'm gonna kick your a**!"
Oh damn. Bogaets and Porcello could be interesting.
Neckoh
Rick Porcello would be ok if the cost is low enough.
Per Heyman: "Chisox, Braves, Phillies have been 3 of the teams on Michael Brantley. With Cutch in fold with Phils, and Harper still possible there, philly would seem less likely for now."
Get off my lawn!
When they say club is talking to a lot of teams/agents here are they referring to the Braves or the Reds as the club?
I'll be so happy if they sign Keuchel to some crazy 5 year 100m+ deal or something like that. I think that would be glorious for us long term.
This is a question that I continue to ask myself, but rebuilding teams continue to do it over and over and over and over again. It blows my mind.

JT, Harper/Machado and Cutch would be a crazy offseason. lol
Holy guacamole batman.... Yeah, things may have just opened up for us. We need to inquire.
Corbin’s deal includes a $2.5MM signing bonus, per Heyman, and the following yearly salaries: $12.5MM in 2019, $19MM in 2020, $24MM in 2021, $23MM in 2022, $24MM in 2023 and $35MM in 2024.
Holy ****!
