    4 walks in 4 innings. This guy sucks and should have been traded.

    Newk, Riley, and Muk. Muk will help provide veteran leadership for their new core at a fraction of the cost.

    love when people say "this player should have been traded!" as if other teams can't see the glaring flaws in that player.

    So Riley, week-old refried beans, and moldy spanikopita.

    6 years 42.5 millions with two options that could bring it to 8 years 75 million. I wonder if that means no service time manipulation. I know he was already optioned, but he probably doesn't need anymore triple A at bats.

    Another deal that helps frame an Acuna extension.

    Yes, but his biggest problem still is fastball command. If he can't locate his fastball, they'll just destroy all his offspeed stuff. Which, is exactly what happened in the second half of last season.

    Also, the good thing about Newk is that teams will still think they can fix them, but ya... I obviously want to trade him before he becomes another Wisler.

    My god that Simba trade was horrible.

    Will the Braves have any money left after they trade for MadBum and extend him for 6 more years?

    Brewers and Kimbrel talks have went into serious mode per Heyman.

    Wow at Eloy being extended before playing in the bigs. I’d off an 8 year 150 deal to Acuna and see what they do.

    Yeah sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Small potatoes comparatively, but the Phillies may have a bit of regret signing Kingery to 6/24 considering he put up a -1.4 WAR last year

    Good notes from MLBTR just now:

    • Duvall 5/37 in ST, and the team could move on from him in the next few days
    • Minter, O'Day and Folty start the season on the DL, Gausman iffy
    • Soroka optioned to AAA to get stretched out, may be an option for the rotation

    Braves are now “looking at alternatives in the outfield”...as we all knew they should have been all off season.

    I’m not sure why they thought the current mix was acceptable and decided against getting a real solution when real solutions were available.

    Time to start brainstorming about potential RHH options to fill out the bench.
