    Braves sign Donaldson, 1 yr 23 million deal.

    Rosenthal: #Braves showing strong interest in free-agent 3B Josh Donaldson, sources tell The Athletic. Close to finalizing one-year deal, per @StevePhillipsGM.

    So the Braves give Donaldson $23M but wouldn't give Harper $30M? Makes sense...If you're an idiot.

    Doubt Harper was signing a one-year or short-term deal.

    Lol 1 year vs. 10 years and 7 million less? Yeah, give me Donaldson all day. This is a solid signing.

    I like the move. 1 year deal keeps the team flexible going forward. Maybe we can even get a draft pick. I hope we still get a decent corner outfielder and closer to go with this.

    Gave Donaldson 23m for 1 year, wouldn't give Harper 35+ million for ten.

    Getting Donaldson on a 1 year deal makes the Mac signing much more understandable.

    Albies could have problems with his swing adjustments, Swanson might not take that next step offensively, Donaldson could miss some time due to injury. Ender could slump meaning Acuna has to play CF for a period of time opening a spot in LF.

    Camargo will get plenty of AB's and provide much needed insurance.
