    #Braves payroll at about $106M currently, approx $15M below last year's Opening Day total, which they probably won't surpass by much. They still need to add OF and would like to add pitching. To add frontline starter they'd likely have to do it via trade & shed Teheran sal.

    If your farm system can consistently spot and develop talent when you are winning nearly anything is possible.

    Your most recent example is the Indians, and I think they look, based on contract situations, like they are on a 5-6 year run.

    I think the Cards have gone for it plenty. they're awfully good about making sound moves while re-tooling and seem to have an inexhaustible supplies of good evaluations that they develop well.

    the 90s Braves are a tale of two separate eras. The Championship Braves actually ended with the 90s essentially. The decent Braves held together with spit and tape went on for a good while longer, but never really threatened to win much. I'm not sure there was ideal value in riding that one slowly down to its ultimate conclusion. A pretty decent farm system helped tremendously until your guy finished depleting it.

    The Atlanta #Braves today agreed to terms on one-year, non-guaranteed contracts with LHP Sam Freeman ($1.575 million), RHP Kevin Gausman ($9.35 million) and RHP Dan Winkler ($1.61 million). The Braves have zero remaining players eligible for salary arbitration.

    Once again, Dodgers & Marlins virtually no deals for years. Not a coincidence. Stanton talks were unproductive at best. Marlins current ask is Bellinger or nothing. Great fit for J.T. there for sure BUT more than meets the eye there IMO.

    Bellinger has more control and can play multiple positions. I’d keep Bellinger to if I were the Dodgers and the same way with Albies for us. No way we give him up for JTR.

    That’s $121M, or exactly what intelli-Braves have been saying the 2018 opening day payroll would be for months now.

    I have no idea where Bowman got that “at least $60M to spend” line he pedaled and then doubled down on earlier in the offseason.

    It looks like it’s the Astros or Braves for JTR...or an epic fail by the Morons...I mean Marlins.

    I wonder if the Marlins would be smart enough to take JT. If I was a marlins fan I would take that entire deal. Get a little more out of the braves maybe, they have the money and JT would be a decent flip candidate at the deadline in that park.

    I actually thought about excepting the two Sheffield teams, but concluded again that those rotations were not championship caliber.

    Money is what the Marlins do not have. But it would not be a bad plan of attack for them.

    So far I have not seen any indication the Braves feel like shedding Teheran is any kind of priority.

    False narrative. Meh rotations and meh lineups win all the time.

    They have to have a payroll that is Chen Ming Wang, JTR and minimum guys right? Maybe there are a couple of guys I am missing. They have to be the lowest payroll in the league, right?

    Marlins have totally botched this JTR situation, maybe they eventually get a good deal from someone.

    But with Martin to LAD, Mets getting Ramos, it really seems like Astros or Braves for JTR provided our offer is still on the table.

    Starlin Castro and Martin Prado.

    BR has them at 76m estimated. That's maybe more than they'd like to spend.

    I doubt they’ll take Teheran back unless we send another prospect. We could put Flowers in the deal to save some though or use him to fill a catching void with the Astros or somebody else.

    They also reported its Bellinger or nothing so the Dodgers turned and went another direction.
